Overview

We believe this is the first book to focus solely upon school dining halls. We all know a healthy meal can help concentration, but dining halls are not just a place for children to refuel, they are also a place where children relax and learn valuable socialising and behavioural skills. Now with OFSTED inspectors being asked to 'consider how lunchtime and the dining space contribute to good behaviour and the culture in the school' and introduction of Universal Free School Meals, it is vital that schools have all the help they need to maintain a positive dining hall experience. Help is at hand, Jenny Mosley is pleased to present our new How to Create Calm Dining Halls. This practical book has a foreword by Jeanette Orrey (author of The Dinner Lady and inspiration to Jamie Oliver) and offers clear practical advice along with useful case studies and has some truly inspiring photographs! The book also contains 23 photocopiable resources and questionnaires, and comes with a FREE CD-ROM (of all the photocopiable material).
