For over eight years PhunkyFoods has been providing a convenient, inspirational and fun way for teachers to find innovative healthy eating and physical activity lesson-planning resources. The PhunkyFoods team help schools and teachers to meet healthy lifestyles curriculum requirements, support inspection frameworks, achieve local and national Healthy Schools standards and organise their curriculum to include more healthy lifestyles material. We offer a lively cross-curricular approach to teaching healthy lifestyles in-line with current national recommendations through art, music, history, drama and a real hands-on approach to food. PhunkyFood's also provide teaching staff with the training they need to deliver top quality, fun healthy lifestyles activities in their setting. Our resources and lesson plans provide a time-efficient way to inspire teaching with innovative ideas in healthy lifestyles.

The PhunkyFoods Programme meets NICE/SIGN guidelines for Early Years and school settings and also supports the Governments Change4Life campaign, plus the following key targets from the Goverment's Call to Action on Obesity:Healthy Lives, Healthy People: Empowering individuals; helping children and young people to understand the risks asociated with unhealthy behaviours and to make the right connections with health, and; supports learning across all primary curriculum subjects and inspection frameworks in England, Scotland and Wales.

"This is an exciting programme for schools which will help embed healthy lifestyles into mainstream education." Prue Leith, Chair of the School Foods Trust.
