Our campaign

What was it all about?

Way back in 2008, we launched Cooking with Schools. Our mission: to put healthy eating at the heart of the classroom, showing children how to prepare and cook healthy food – while having fun in the process!

Through this exciting initiative, Flora provided thousands of pounds worth of cooking equipment to primary schools, equipping school staff to teach children the importance of eating well and maintaining a healthy heart.

How did it work?

Cooking with Schools worked by collecting and redeeming tokens printed on packs of Flora. These could be registered and exchanged for cooking equipment – just one large pack giving you enough tokens to redeem a spatula, a bread loaf tin or a wooden spoon in our very own Cooking with Schools Webshop.

Throughout the campaign, school staff could take advantage of our useful teaching resources online. Registered schools could also create personalised campaign material to encourage parents, staff and members of the local community to support them and collect tokens.

Chandag Junior School gets a taste for healthy eating

Flora Cooking with Schools teamed up with celebrity chef Will Torrent to give one lucky school and its pupils a yummy cooking lesson to remember.

Mrs Sarah Sheppard won the Flora Cooking with Schools competition, which ran in Sainsbury's stores nationwide, and nominated her daughter Lucy's school to receive the prize. Two other schools also received the runners-up prize of a Cooking with Schools gift pack, containing 30 Flora kids aprons, food containers and menu planners.

On 28th June, Will and the Flora Cooking with Schools Team headed for Chandag Junior School in Bristol ready to put healthy eating at the heart of the classroom. Will's exciting demonstrations of four Cooking with Schools recipes – Easy Peesey Tomato Pasta, Banana Bread, Pockets Full of Goodness and Seeds the Baker Bread – made sure that Lucy and her classmates learnt the importance of healthy eating and how fun cooking can be.

And to put an even bigger smile on the kids' faces, at the end of the day they all got to take home their own menu planner, lunchbox, and a signed photo of Will.
