INTRODUCTORY-LEVEL course in nutrition for catering, certified by the Association for Nutrition
Building healthier communities through food

Feeding Success Course
A whole school approach to enhancing wellbeing, learning and performance through nutrition
Feeding Success is a one-day training course designed to help schools strengthen wellbeing, behaviour, and academic outcomes by creating a healthier food culture. School leaders gain practical knowledge of nutrition, alongside strategies to shape positive food environments that support both student health and learning.
The course combines expert-led insight with practical tools, enabling schools to evaluate their current approach and embed sustainable improvements. It works well as a stand-a-lone course but can also act as a first step for schools wanting to undertake the RaisingNutrition Accreditation programme, providing a foundation for longer-term impact.
Ideal for, as examples:
- Schools to support their own leadership and governance teams in making positive changes to their learning & wellbeing culture.
- Public health focussed organisations, to run for schools they support; helping to prioritise the role school food can play in enabling pupils to better realise their potential.
Oxfordshire Council has partnered with us to run a number of ‘Feeding Success Courses‘, with headteachers and business managers giving excellent feedback from the day. Importantly, since the initial course, many have made practical changes to raise standards and promote healthier food choices more across their school.
“We aimed to help school leaders create a positive food environment and understand good nutrition for young people and its impact on their development. All of this has been delivered by the RaisingNutrition team through an incredibly engaging and informative day. The schools who attended the training went away enthused about the positive changes they could make in their setting.”
Derys Pragnell, Public Health Consultant, Oxfordshire County Council
As an important part of our work as a social enterprise, we also help to train & educate volunteers and staff within local community initiatives and charities, such as food banks and community kitchens, helping make healthier food more accessible to all.
For our work with food banks, we have developed a unique set of training, called ‘Donations to Dinners’ looking at the food safety of parcels, the nutritional value of parcels and how parcels can be put together better to enable more nourishing meals.
