The 2010 School Challenge for Secondary Schools is inspired by the Hairy Bikers' recent ‘Mums Know Best’ television programme - Design and cook a meal based on recipes that would have been used in your school’s part of the country by previous generations!
Ask pupils to seek inspiration from their parents and grandparents and research old cookery books. Invite parents, grandparents or community groups such as your local W.I or Care Homes into your school to enjoy the feast that the pupils prepare. Celebrate our food heritage and the diverse and delicious food that is produced in this country!

Every year British Food Fortnight challenges schools to use the national food promotion event as an opportunity to teach young people about food: about the diverse and delicious range of food available, the benefits of healthy eating and about the pleasures of eating quality, fresh, seasonal and regionally distinct produce.
Hundreds of schools – Primary, Secondary and Special Needs schools - take part every year. They invite chefs into the classroom to give cooking lessons, visit farms and allotments and tour local butchers, fishmongers and greengrocers as they take up the challenge to include food and cookery within their curriculum teaching during the Fortnight.
