The report, published earlier this month, awarded Sutton one of only six silver awards in the Food for Life category for improving the standard of school catering.
Schools had to invest in facilities and ensure that ingredients met very high standards of nutrition and taste to be awarded silver status.
Cllr. Dave Callaghan, Chair of Sutton’s Children, Family and Education Committee, said: “Providing high quality education is absolutely central to our aims.
“Part of that is ensuring that children enjoy good food and it is very encouraging to see that is being recognised in this award.”
Sutton was named a Fairtrade borough thanks to its commitment to promoting Fairtrade products at events and it is also making great strides in two further categories – Sustainable Fish and Honey and Bees.
Fairtrade and Healthy Eating
Sustainable Fish encourages boroughs to use fish varieties that are still in plentiful supply and Honey and Bees is a new project which discourages the use of particular pesticides and aims to make London a haven for bees.
Co-writer of the Report Ross Compton, said: “We applaud Sutton for being one of the boroughs to lead the way to a healthy and sustainable food future.”
“Sutton’s success will also urge other boroughs to follow.”
