INTRODUCTION Leading the hospitality profession by example - shaping its future through education Founded in 1980, the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts is Britain’s leading professional association of Head Chefs, Pastry Chefs, Restaurant Managers and suppliers. The Academy was granted the Royal prerogative by Her Majesty The Queen in May 2013. This was recognition of its pre-eminence as Britain’s leading professional association. Its objectives are primarily focused on the education and training of young people in the hospitality industry through the provision of career opportunities; recognising and rewarding talent and skill; and raising standards and awareness of food, food provenance, cooking and service. The Academy is immensely honoured to have His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales as its Patron. The Royal Academy is recognised as one of the industry’s leading voices and regarded as an authority on a broad range of issues relating to its expertise which includes education and training, employment, health and hygiene. Working with suppliers of top quality culinary products is also vital to the Academy in order to maintain the high standards to which we are committed. Members are united in the common purpose of supporting the future of the industry through thorough and extensive education and training. To maintain this status and influence as a significant working association, members are expected to invest their time in the Academy’s various activities. The current membership process of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts is closed. Plenary Meetings are held five times per year exclusively for Academicians and Associate Members. Since its inauguration, membership of the Academy has grown to over 300 of Britain’s most notable Head Chefs, Pastry Chefs and Restaurant Managers.

ACTIVITIES The Academy’s objectives are realised through a number of core education and training initiatives aimed at all ages and stages of development, from teaching school children through to the Continual Professional Development of established chefs, pastry chefs and waiters. They are: The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts’ Adopt A School (Charity No. 1087567) Founded in 1990, (Chefs) Adopt a School is a national charity which teaches children – in a holistic way – about food, food provenance, food growing and the environment, healthy eating, nutrition, hygiene and cookery as well as the impact of food our lives, tailor made sessions are delivered by chefs and hospitality professionals. 2015 was the charity’s 25th anniversary. Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Apprenticeship The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Chefs Apprenticeship is a three year vocational course aimed at aspiring young chefs aged between 16 and 19 years old. It is a pioneering approach to deliver a comprehensive training to young chefs whilst enabling them to work in the finest establishments in the UK. The first RACA Chefs Apprenticeship – The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Specialised Chefs Course at Bournemouth & Poole College – has been running since 1989 and is a three year block release programme. The second RACA Chefs Apprenticeship is a day release programme at University West London which has been running since 1994. The third RACA Chefs Apprenticeship, also day release, began at Westminster Kingsway College in September 2012. In 2014 we introduced two new qualifications in Waste Management & Sustainable Procurement to the RACA Chefs Apprenticeship programmes, which were piloted at Westminster Kingsway College and University of West London. As well as the three existing RACA Chefs Apprenticeship programmes a fourth RACA Chefs Apprenticeship was launched at University College Birmingham in September 2015. Our fifth, but first, apprenticeship in Professional Restaurant Service and

Management at University of West London was also launched in September 2015. We are also pleased to announce our first northern Chef’s Apprenticeship at the City of Liverpool College, launched in September 2016. Annual Awards of Excellence Begun 1983, the AAE is the most prestigious award available to young people in the hospitality industry today, recognising and encouraging the most talented ambitious Chefs, Pastry Chefs and Waiters. Open to young professionals aged between 20 and 26 the purpose of the Awards is to inspire and encourage them to achieve the highest possible standards in their chosen profession – Kitchen, Pastry or Service – and to offer a launch pad for success in their career. Master of Culinary Arts Launched in 1987 as the Meilleur Ouvrier de Grande Bretagne (MOGB), the Master of Culinary Arts is held every four years and rewards ability and achievement of the highest degree in Culinary Skills, Pastry and Restaurant Management & Service to those over the age of 26. Seen as the ultimate accolade awarded for outstanding craftsmanship to Chefs, Pastry Chefs and Restaurant Managers throughout the United Kingdom, the MCA is a lifetime achievement. Mutton Renaissance Conceived in 2003 by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and officially launched in November 2004, the Mutton Renaissance is the campaign to restore high quality mutton to the menu whilst helping British sheep farmers to find a market for their older animals. The rewards are more than just a great product on the plate but a uniting of the whole chain between chef, butcher, supplier and farmer. The campaign is jointly run by the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts and the Pastoral Alliance. FEAST (Food Education At School Today) Started in 2007 by Adopt a School, FEAST is the campaign to improve the amount of food education and practical cookery in Primary Schools. Other Activities Aside from the above mentioned principal activities, the Academy participates in numerous other events and activities which reflect its aims and objectives as well as maintaining links with other organisations who share in the common goal of securing the future of the industry. Funding The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts is a not for profit organisation registered as a Company Limited by Guarantee 2014 (formerly officially a Friendly Society 1980 – 2014) Company Number 09242241. The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Adopt a School Trust is a registered charity (Number 1087567). The Royal Academy is privately funded by membership fees, sponsorship and donations, without which it would not exist nor continue to make a difference to the lives of so many young people and their future in the industry. The Academy is grateful to all its members, who give their time so generously, which allows the work to continue.

BRIEF HISTORY The origins of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts lie in the Académie Culinaire de France, an organisation founded in 1883 by Joseph Favre, a French chemist. The remit of the Académie Culinaire de France was to collect and catalogue all the classical recipes – as the Académie Française does with literature and language. The British branch of the Académie was born out of the Club 9, a group of highly regarded Chefs des Cuisines who met monthly to mull over the culinary business of the day. They were Michel Bourdin, Albert Roux, Bernard Gaume, John Huber, Anton Mosimann, Guy Mouilleron, Peter Kromberg, Richard Shepherd, Uwe Zander and Felix Muntwyler. The Académie Culinaire de France Filiale de Grande Bretagne was launched at The Connaught on 6th December 1980, with Michel Bourdin as Founder President and Albert Roux as Vice President. The early days of the British Académie were made possible by immense support from Moët & Chandon and its CEO Patrick Forbes. The twenty five Founder Members were:

Jean Bellavita André Durand Emile Léfèbvre Anton Mosimann Richard Shepherd CBE Michel Bourdin Bernard Gaume Gilbert Lefèvre Guy Mouilleron D Toinard Brian Cotterill Professor John Huber Henri Lullier Christian Moury Jacques Viney Martin Davies Eugène Käufeler Oswald Mair Georges Piotet Louis Virot Joël Défaut Peter Kromberg Julien Martell Albert Roux OBE Uwe Zander

ROYAL ACADEMY OF CULINARY ARTS CHEFS APPRENTICESHIP The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Chefs Apprenticeship is a three year vocational course aimed at aspiring young chefs aged between 16 and 19 years old. It is a pioneering approach to deliver comprehensive training to young chefs whilst enabling them to work in the finest establishments in the UK. The first RACA Chefs Apprenticeship – The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Specialised Chefs Course at Bournemouth & Poole College – has been running since 1989 and is a three year block release programme. The second RACA Chefs Apprenticeship is a day release programme at the University of West London which has been running since 1994. A third day release apprenticeship programme began at Westminster Kingsway College in September 2012. The point of difference between an RACA Chefs Apprenticeship and a routine apprenticeship is the standard of employer and establishment at which the apprentice is employed during their training, as well as the ‘add-ons’ which form part of the curriculum. In addition to the standard qualifications undertaken on the course, at the end of the three years apprentices sit the RACA Final Exam and, if successful, will achieve the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Diploma. The Philosophy The RACA is widely recognised as the premier chefs’ association in the UK; it is well respected by the industry and other professional bodies and, most importantly, it is synonymous with excellence in training. Excellence is sought in all aspects of the RACA Chefs Apprenticeship: the apprentices; the lecturers; the colleges; the employers; and the course content. The RACA Chefs Apprenticeship is rigorous and challenging; it equips its apprentices with a wide range of in-depth skills underpinned by sound theoretical knowledge and it aims to provide employers with the best trained chef apprentices in the industry. The curriculum is cutting edge, built on traditional foundations whilst taking in modern developments, drawn from an internationally renowned body of knowledge. An equally important part of the apprenticeship is the pastoral care given to the apprentices during the three years. Each college undertaking to run the RACA Chefs Apprenticeship must appoint a tutor whose role is to fully support the apprentices throughout their training in both their work and personal lives. Creating the leaders of tomorrow This programme of study aims to develop the individual in the practical, theoretical and intellectual aspects of food and the hospitality business in order to lay the foundations for a career as an active practitioner and ambassador of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts. It aims to turn out young chefs whose objective is to gain sustainable employment and act as role models for the next generation. Such a role carries responsibilities which are recognised across the global industry, as such individuals possess the talent required to work in this international profession.

This course is a block release programme with students spending one term in each year at the college and the rest of their time in the employ of an Academician, mostly in London. The Specialised Chefs Course leads to City & Guilds NVQ Levels 2 and 3 Professional Cookery and Level 2 in Food Service; ABC Pastry Level 3; CIEH Level 2 and 3 Awards in Food Safety in Catering; as well as the British Institute of Innkeeping Certificate in Drugs Awareness. Functional Skills in Number and Communication are added for apprentices where necessary. In addition, first year students receive presentations on the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts, personal presentation, money management, personal safety and sexual health, a half-day visit from the ARK Foundation, as well as a visit to both front and back of house operations at The Dorchester in London. At the end of the three years apprentices take a six hour practical examination, set by the Academy, which they must pass in order to receive their Royal Academy of Culinary Arts diploma. The course is led by David Boland (Fellow of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts), Senior Lecturer at Bournemouth and Poole College and managed by Jenny Brett and Barry Dawson, with Apprentices being reviewed and monitored both at work and college every 10/12 weeks. Awards In 2000 the Course was recognised by City & Guilds in Hospitality & Catering and granted a Beacon Award. In 2001 the training on the programme reached all the objectives to win a prestigious National Training Award and we are very honoured to be allowed to continue to use the Training Award logo on our literature and advertising. In addition, Bournemouth & Poole College is the proud holder of a COVE - Centre of Vocational Excellence - in Culinary Arts. In 1998 Daniel Guest, who trained with Michel Bourdin at The Connaught, London, was the first Specialised Chef graduate to win the coveted European Young Chef Apprentice of the Year competition and then in 2008 another graduate, Adam Bowden who trained with John Williams MBE at The Ritz, London, also won this great award.

ANNUAL AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE

Honorary President of the Awards: Jason Atherton Chairman of the AAE: John Williams MBE Chairmen of Kitchen: Martyn Nail & Adam Byatt Chairmen of Pastry: Yolande Stanley MCA & Sarah Hartnett Chairmen of Service: Sergio Rebecchi & John Cousins

The AAE is the most prestigious award available to young professionals in the hospitality industry today, recognising and encouraging the most talented ambitious Chefs, Pastry Chefs and Waiters. It is the only award to cover all three categories of Kitchen, Pastry and Service. Since it began in 1983 over 500 young professionals have achieved the award, providing them with a launch pad for successful career paths. The purpose of the Awards is to inspire and encourage young professionals to achieve the highest possible standards in their chosen profession – Kitchen, Pastry or Service – and to offer them clear guidelines for success in their career. To participate in the awards is a great learning experience. Good basic skills are

the essential cement with which young, ambitious members of the catering industry can build a rewarding career, while more taxing tasks help to identify the best cooks and waiters of today who will become the leaders of tomorrow. As well as a competition, the AAE is an examination; all or none of the candidates can achieve the award depending on their ability to attain the standard of excellence set by the judges. All those who successfully reach this standard will win the AAE. In addition the winning candidate who scores the most marks in each section is named the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Young Chef, Young Pastry Chef and Young Waiter of the Year. The awards are open to young professionals aged between 20 and 26, who are currently working full-time, in the UK, as Chefs, Pastry Chefs or Waiters. Selection is based on written essays and (for chefs) a recipe and the awards test a variety of skills within each discipline: Chefs can be tested on a variety of food preparation and cookery tasks from making a salad to butchery skills and must demonstrate that they can prepare a variety of dishes including soups and dessert and a piece of their own free interpretation. Pastry Chefs will be expected to demonstrate the ability to work with many different kinds of materials including detailed chocolate and sugar work and a creative presentation piece, whilst having an excellent grounding in baking and plated desserts. Waiters are tested on their knowledge and skills in a wide range of food and beverage service aspects including product knowledge, technical service skills, interpersonal skills and teamwork. “The AAE gives those in the British hospitality industry an opportunity to shine…The AAE galvanises the whole industry and has been instrumental in the development of the British culinary scene.” Heston Blumenthal OBE, Honorary President of the Annual Awards of Excellence “In the last 30 years the Annual Awards of Excellence has proved to be the best examination there is in this country, without doubt. It is the perfect evolution for the progression of young chefs and service professionals.” John Williams MBE, Chairman of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts and Chairman of the Annual Award of Excellence See pages 30-36 for the full list of Annual Awards of Excellence Winners.

MASTER OF CULINARY ARTS

Chairman of the MCA: David Pitchford Chairman of Culinary Skills: Idris Caldora MCA Chairmen of Pastry: Michel Roux OBE MOF & Michael Nadell Chairman of Restaurant Management & Service: Silvano Giraldin & Sergio Rebecchi Vice Chairmen of Restaurant Management & Service: John Cousins & Didier Garnier

Inaugurated in 1987, The Master of Culinary Arts (MCA) is held every four years and is seen to be the ultimate accolade, awarded in recognition of outstanding craftsmanship, for Chefs, Pastry Chefs and Restaurant Managers in the UK. Inspired by Michel Bourdin, then Chef de Cuisine at The Connaught and supported by Albert and Michel Roux OBEs the MCA was based on the Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) and was originally known as the Meilleur Ouvrier de Grande Bretagne. The MCA represents the very best in craftsmanship for cooking, pastry and service. It is a priority in the Academy’s continuing efforts to improve the standards of food, cooking and service while, at the

same time, raising the professional status of chefs, pastry chefs and restaurant managers. Winners of the MCA carry the title for life and become role models for future generations. Through the MCA, we can encourage young people to aspire to be the best, thus securing a better future for the hospitality industry. The MCA is open to Chefs, Pastry Chefs and Waiters/Restaurant Managers aged over the age of 26 who are currently employed at a senior level in the industry, in the UK and who have at least 5 years working experience in their chosen discipline. Candidates must qualify through demanding entry requirements, regional Quarter and Semi-Finals, and Finals held at Le Gavroche for Restaurant Management and University of West London for the Culinary Skills and Pastry. This is followed by one of the industry’s most prestigious award ceremonies. The judges are all Academicians, MCAs and significant professionals from within the industry. The MCA is a mark of achievement, not a competition. The judges may select all or none of the candidates depending upon the pass mark. “This prestigious award is based on perfection. The judges, experienced industry professionals and many MCA holders themselves, are looking for candidates to deliver the highest standards under the extremes of pressure that working in the catering industry demands on a day to day basis. It is for this reason that only the best and, therefore, only a handful of candidates ever achieve this standard. It takes real courage to enter the MCA and exceptional skill to reach the Finals. The tough judging criteria should not deter any future prospective entrants for the awards. Winning an MCA often marks a turning point in the career of a Chef, Pastry Chef or Restaurant Manager, elevating confidence and gaining respect from other culinary professionals.” Brian J. Turner CBE, President of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts For the first time in 2005, the winners of the Master of Culinary Arts were presented to His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales at Clarence House. Their audience lasted over one hour when The Prince enthusiastically engaged in an inspired and meaningful discussion about the industry. See page 28 for a full list of Master of Culinary Arts Winners.

The Royal Academy is very grateful to the current sponsors of the MCA:

MUTTON RENAISSANCE CAMPAIGN In partnership with the Pastoral Alliance What is the Mutton Renaissance? The Mutton Renaissance is the campaign to restore high quality mutton to the menu whilst helping British sheep farmers to find a market for their older animals. How did the Mutton Renaissance start? The campaign is the brainchild of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales who, following Foot and Mouth 2001 wanted to find a way to help sheep farmers in the event of a similar disaster occurring again. The Mutton Renaissance was launched at The Ritz, London in November 2004. Who runs the Mutton Renaissance? The campaign is run by the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts and the Pastoral Alliance. What is mutton? Mutton is the meat of a sheep over two years old. Often from unfinished cull ewes and slaughtered in line with religious beliefs most mutton is sold to the ethnic meat market, is lean and inexpensive. What is Renaissance Mutton? The mutton promoted by the Mutton Renaissance is high quality mutton from animals that have been carefully selected, finished and processed to achieve optimum flavour and an excellent eating experience. To maintain this high standard a specification has been developed which details what qualifies as Renaissance Mutton and the standards to which it must be produced. The Renaissance Mutton season runs from October to March, when British lamb is out of season.

The Renaissance Mutton Specification

Renaissance Mutton must be produced on a Farm Assured farm.

Eligible sheep must be over two years of age. To be confirmed by either documentation or dentition.

Eligible sheep must be either female or castrates. Entire males are not acceptable.

All eligible sheep must be traceable to the farm where they have been reared.

There are no breed specifications.

Finishing diet must be forage-based: grass; hay; silage; turnips; swedes etc., augmented by farm produced straight cereals (barley, oats etc.) when necessary.

Carcase classifications of E, U, R or O for conformation and fat classes 2L, 3L or 3H are required.

Carcase or cuts must be matured for at least two weeks.

How does the Mutton Renaissance work? The Mutton Renaissance Club was launched in February 2006, of which His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is Patron. The purpose of the club is to promote the campaign and consolidate the supply chain; this is mainly done through the Mutton Renaissance Club Open Events which are held around the country during the season. What effect has the campaign had on the mutton market so far? Since the launch in 2004 the campaign has had a small but significant impact on the market. At the end of 2006 and updated at the beginning of 2008 a report by David Croston OBE (formerly CEO of Eblex) showed exactly this: ‘On the basis of the 2006 report the potential retail market was estimated to be in the order of 846 tonnes of which 423 tonnes came from businesses involved with the Mutton Renaissance campaign. The revised estimate from the 2008 survey suggests that involvement appears to have risen by about 21% to 511 tonnes.’ Each week we hear from new farmers producing mutton, restaurants serving it and others who want to support us. The progress is slow but steady and we are confident that the campaign is really making a difference. Currently, the campaign is undergoing a revamp to take it into its second decade, including a new and interactive website.

Delivering Food Education to children hungry to learn Adopt a School is a national charity which teaches children – in a holistic way - about food: where it comes from; how to cook it; why we need it; and its impact on the environment. We aim to instil knowledge and understanding about health, nutrition, hygiene, cooking skills, and the enjoyment and importance of cookery and eating together. We believe that every child should be taught about the importance of food and the significance it has in our lives. We love to cook and we think tasting the food is very important too. For a truly beneficial experience we don’t think you can beat young people growing and preparing their own food and then sitting down to eat it together. Adopt a School is delivered, on a voluntary basis, by members of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts and – thanks to our generous sponsors – by our staff team. The sessions take place in the classroom and range in content from the four tastes and the five senses, to advanced practical cookery. The charity reaches many thousands of children every year and we work with primary schools, secondary schools, SEN schools, hospital schools, pupil referral units, sports centres and food festivals. In February 2010 AAS celebrated its 20th anniversary with a session at the first ‘adopted’ school, attended by a host of the country’s best and most recognisable chefs, as well as Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall. During his speech The Prince of Wales commented that “Adopt a School is the model that should be used for the future”. In 2015 AAS celebrated its 25th anniversary with a host of activities across the UK. Over 200 members and Friends, contributed to this outstanding achievement. EVALUATION We believe that the work we do is incredibly important and that we make a difference. We have been independently evaluated twice: by the Food Policy Centre at City University in 2008 (the first academically robust evaluation of any cooking in school initiative in the UK); and by Genecon in 2010. Both reported the impact we have on child cooking confidence, uptake of vegetables and awareness of a healthy diet. Both reports are published on our website: www.chefsadoptaschool.org.uk RECOGNITION AND AWARDS

WINNER OF THE 2008 SPRINGBOARD AWARD FOR EDUCATION – SMALL ORGANISATION

SHORTLISTED FOR BBC RADIO 4 FOOD PROGRAMME AWARDS (Best Campaigner or Educator) HOW ADOPT A SCHOOL WORKS Adopt a School has devised a course of one session per term, three sessions per year, to the same year group. When the charity was first started we created a lesson to teach children the basics of food and cookery that we could deliver without the need for cooking facilities. All that is required is the classroom, the children and the chef. The Taste & Sensory session remains the first lesson always delivered by Adopt a School. The subsequent sessions should focus on practical cookery and maybe even some learning outside the classroom. Visits to farms, food producers and/or a professional kitchen are all invaluable experiences. A recent addition to the work of Adopt a School has been to pilot a programme of restaurant service skills to address the diminishing food culture in schools where many children do not choose to sit at a table and eat their food. We have enlisted the expertise of our Royal Academy Restaurant Managers inspired by Michael Newton Young MCA and Sarah Howard to create interactive programmes which have so far proved a hit with the children. OBJECTIVES OF THE ADOPT A SCHOOL SESSIONS

To introduce children and young people to real, fresh food through an animated approach to tasting

To encourage children to consider food more closely and learn about food provenance

To teach basic food preparation skills

To encourage an understanding of the importance of healthy eating

To offer an insight into the industry

15

WHY ADOPT A SCHOOL AND FOOD EDUCATION IS SO IMPORTANT Adopt a School recognises that a child’s development is crucial for their future health and well-being. The programme has adopted an innovative approach to tackling health inequalities by giving children the knowledge to improve their own health and well-being, as well as supporting parents and teachers to embed healthy eating messages in school and at home. Poor diet and nutrition can lead to lower concentration levels and so Adopt a School aims to change children’s perception of food so they understand the roots of healthy eating and how food can impact positively on all aspects of their life. Adopt a School can be integrated into all school subjects such as numeracy and literacy, mathematics and science – to name a few – to hugely positive effect. The programme has witnessed countless children who have developed significantly with the aid of food and cookery as a vehicle for the delivery of other subjects. The programme should not be seen in isolation; it is part of a ‘whole school’ approach to healthy eating which embeds healthy eating messages into all aspects of the school curriculum by working in partnership with teachers, school cooks and parents. Looking ahead, not only does food education and practical cookery skill young people for life, it can also increase their career options. Schools involved in Adopt a School have the benefit of their children being taught by experienced chefs with a passion for imparting their knowledge. Food Holds Communities Together – The Long Term Benefits of Adopt a School There is a growing body of evidence to support the theory that significant savings can be made to the NHS budget – and also have a positive effect on the national economy with a reduction in the many days presently lost to illness – by improving our nation’s food and diet awareness. Almost 18% of children aged 2-15 years old have grown clinically obese in the last decade. If this trend continues, one fifth of boys and one third of girls will be obese by 2020. Obesity increases the risk of a range of chronic diseases, particularly Type 2 diabetes, stroke and coronary heart disease. The NHS costs that will be attributable to poor diet and obesity are projected to double to £10 billion per year by 2050. The wider costs to society and business are estimated to reach £49.9 billion per year. Adopt a School believes this can be redressed by increasing education and practical learning in order to give young people the knowledge, practical skills and ability to be responsible for their well-being and to adopt a healthier lifestyle through informed choice. In this current climate, leaving the teaching of food, nutrition and cookery until secondary school is too late. More needs to be done and can be done much earlier at primary school when future eating habits are first formed. Sitting around a communal dining table gives us not only physical nutrition, but spiritual wellbeing as well. What we eat can give us a sensory dimension of culture, time and social behaviour. If all children from an early age learnt about the food chain, from farm to plate, this would lead to the next generation of better informed people able to cook and, therefore, a better society both in terms of health and social welfare. THE TOP TEN BENEFITS OF ADOPT A SCHOOL, COMPILED FROM THE THOUSANDS OF TEACHERS AND CHILDREN WE WORK WITH EVERY YEAR 1. Children gain a fundamental life skill – how to safely prepare healthy dishes they

enjoy eating. 2. AAS allows children the opportunity to feel, smell and taste food that they may

not have been introduced to before, therefore, opening and discovering a new world of foods.

3. Children gain vital knowledge and understanding of important concepts such as

healthy lifestyle, agriculture, environment and seasonality of food. 4. AAS enhances and promotes the practice and social behaviour of sharing food

whilst seated round a table. 5. Develops team work and communication skills through preparing food in groups

and bringing everything together to form a finished dish. 6. Enables children to overcome the fear factor of trying new foods, both through

growing and preparing the food and also through the encouragement from an outside expert; the professional chef is Adopt a School’s special ingredient.

7. Highlights to children and young people the many varied career options offered

by the hospitality industry.

8. Offers a fantastic opportunity for children and parents to work together, through joint workshops. 9. Effective cross-curricular learning - Adopt a School sessions bridge a range of other subjects: mathematics; science;

languages; geography; and politics to name a few. 10. Ignites children’s natural instinct and enthusiasm for preparing and cooking foods. THE FEAST CAMPAIGN – FOOD EDUCATION AT SCHOOLS TODAY Started in 2007 by Adopt a School, FEAST is the campaign to improve the amount of food education and practical cookery in Primary Schools. The campaign began with the publication of the FEAST report – our investigation into the current state of food education in primary schools. At the same time as the FEAST report (available on the Adopt a School website), Adopt a School was evaluated by City University which confirmed the benefit of our sessions and proved that Adopt a School would be a powerful future model for food education. We believe that the current approach to food education needs to be transformed so that it has a secure and definitive place on the curriculum for 5-11 years and beyond. Our workshops integrate with many key syllabus subjects such as history, geography, mathematics, science, politics, English and other languages. As well as integrating with so many other subjects on the curriculum, good, healthy eating habits are formed for life and make a precious contribution to children’s learning potential and ultimately, therefore, the health of the nation. The School Food Plan The School Food Plan was launched in July 2013 as a result of collaboration between Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education and Henry Dimbleby and John Vincent. The Plan is “about good food and happiness. It is about the pleasures of growing, understanding, cooking and eating proper food. It is also about the academic performance of our children and the health of our nation”. Adopt a School was on the expert panel of the DfE’s School Food Plan and very much actively supported its ethos and agenda of promoting school food uptake and teaching children about food. Adopt a School has also played a major role pushing for the proposals to include food education and cookery in the national curriculum for 5 year olds and upwards from September 2014. ADOPT A SCHOOL TRUSTEES Sam Gordon Clark CBE (chairman), Amanda Afiya, Myles Bremner, Richard Dunne, Sara Jayne Stanes OBE, Frederick Mostert, Brian J. Turner CBE, Richard Shepherd CBE and John Williams MBE, SPONSORS Adopt a School is sponsored by the Savoy Educational Trust, the Worshipful Company of Cooks, University of West London and City of Liverpool College

Adopt a School is very grateful to the generosity of a myriad of Academicians and supporters who help to make our work possible and make a difference to the lives of so many children. FEEDBACK FROM SCHOOLS Bee Wilson, Parent at St Matthews Primary School, Cambridge: “The feedback we have had at the school from the children - and the teachers - has been extraordinary. Everyone found the sessions both fun and highly informative. Children who never normally put up their hand in class are keen to do so for Idris. A parent reported to me that one child came home after the bread-making session and actually burst into tears when the last piece of bread was eaten up, because the process of making the dough with Idris had been so special”. Mr Locke, Headteacher at Vine Tree Primary School, Crewe: “We have been part of the Adopt a School programme for a number of years and it is a valuable part of our school curriculum. The programme is delivered in a fun, hands-on way and completely engages all of them, they can’t wait to take their food home and tell their parents what they have made. The programme gives the children a valuable insight into food education with activities ranging from where food comes from and how it is grown, through to how to cook it. We are very proud to be a part of this programme and the work that our Adopt a School chef does in our school has a massive impact on the children.” Headteacher, Haydock English Martyrs Catholic Primary School, St. Helens “The pupil and parents thoroughly enjoyed the Adopt a School Programme. The programme covered many valuable aspects of the curriculum from food hygiene, food safety, food technology, speaking, listening, following instructions to a wide range of personal, social and health education aspects of healthy eating, food groups, taking turns, working together etc. The pupils benefited from working with a chef who could pass on their knowledge and skills and give pupils a taste of ‘working life’ and real jobs. The chef provided great motivation to the pupils and parents. Spreading their message to the parents was invaluable and they thoroughly enjoyed their activities”.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF CULINARY ARTS CHEFS APPRENTICESHIP GRADUATES The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Chefs Apprenticeship is a three year vocational course aimed at aspiring young chefs aged between 16 and 19 years old. It is a pioneering approach to deliver a comprehensive training to young chefs whilst enabling them to work in the finest establishments in the UK. The first RACA Chefs Apprenticeship – The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Specialised Chefs Course at Bournemouth & Poole College – has been running since 1989 and is a three year block release programme. The second RACA Chefs Apprenticeship is a day release programme at the University of West London which has been running since 1994. A third apprenticeship will begin at Westminster Kingsway College in September 2012. The point of difference between an RACA Chefs Apprenticeship and a routine apprenticeship is the standard of employer and establishment at which the apprentice is employed during their training; as well as the ‘add-ons’ which form part of the curriculum. In addition to the standard qualifications undertaken on the course, at the end of the three years, apprentices sit the RACA Final Exam and if successful will achieve the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Diploma.

BOURNEMOUTH & POOLE COLLEGE * denotes Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Egon Ronay Scholar of the Year (begun 2013 to celebrate and perpetuate the memory of Egon Ronay, and to sustain his life’s work. The award is given to Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Apprentices who have shown remarkable development and produced outstanding results).
