It was good to see Jamie Oliver on BBC Breakfast this morning calling on parents to stand up and campaign to protect school food standards. Academies and free schools will not have to adhere to the standards which came as a result of the Feed me Better campaign in 2005. Already a third of our secondary schools could abandon the strict government guidelines that keep junk food off school menus. At SFM we hope that all schools now value the standards, have seen the positive impact on behaviour and attainment, and will continue to implement them, but we call on Michael Gove to make them mandatory for all schools to safeguard children's health and well-being.
