Primary & Special Schools

Eat Them to Defeat Them is back for an eighth blockbuster year with an exciting new feature called Veg Hunters featuring The Great Veg Vote.

Over the last seven years over 1.8 children in over 5,000 primary and special schools with 82% of parents their child ate amore veg a a result.

The buzz around school seems to get more and more each year, I think it’s because the children remember the fun from the previous year and they LOVE the stickers!

EYFS / PE Lead, Cherwell

The resources on the website were amazing. The whole school took part and each class has a different activity. Lovely resources!

Class Teacher, Bridgend

We’ve run the programme for a few years now and we’ve found the biggest impact is children being more willing to try and taste new vegetables.

Headteacher, Essex

Great resources which engaged the children. Very well organised and planned so didn’t require much from school staff/caters which was brilliant.

Teacher and PE Lead, Wakefield

We have thoroughly loved the whole experience. Our children have eaten SO many more vegetables, both at home and at school. Our lunch ladies have said they have never seen so many empty plates

Teacher, Brighton

This is one of the few healthy eating schemes that really engaged children. We had parents saying that their fussy eaters were actually eating vegetables!

Headteacher Hampshire

Most effective way we’ve tried so far at getting younger children to try and keep eating a range of vegetables

Headteacher, London

We’ve never had an experience like this in our school before, all our children and teachers loved it.

Senior Leadership Team, Lambeth

Great resources; excellent ad – really made an impression on the children -hard hitting and persuasive.

Assistant Head, Wales

It was amazing how children that would usually say they didn’t like a certain type of veg would try different things and discover that they actually liked them.

Senior Lunchtime Supervisor, Hampshire

Could not get better marketing and media for a campaign to encourage vegetable consumption. Resources are fantastic.

Regional Food in Schools Coordinator, Northern Ireland

Looking at doing more of this next year as children thoroughly enjoyed this,thank you . Please keep this initiative alive as it’s been a fun campaign!
