Food Changers

A six-session programme for nutritional mastery

Food Changers is an annual subscription to educate your whole school community. Through our online portal, you’ll have access to digestible lesson plans, fun physical games and lots of helpful worksheets, posters and resources.

We’ve designed six sessions for each year group (one to six) and the content gets more sophisticated as each year goes by. Each session lasts for one hour digging into food theory where kids explore the different nutrients, start building their own balanced diet, and identify which foods to eat sparingly (we can’t be perfect can we!).  Then as a final flourish, you can add in one of our learning activities, like a fun game, food tasting or sowing seeds.

Before you inspire the next generation of food enthusiasts, at a time that suits you we’ll train your staff virtually. We have two options for this. Take a look below to see what works best for you.

Frequently asked questions​

What’s included with the staff training?

We offer two virtual training versions to suit your school.

Short training

This includes a quick demo of the portal. This takes around 1 hour to make sure all staff are clear using the portal. Teachers here will:

  • understand how to use the online resources
  • know how to reach out for support
  • circulate the information to colleagues
Long training

The longer version takes 2-3 hours and dips into more detail about nutrition and healthy eating. Teachers here will learn everything in the short training and:

  • the different nutrients needed in a healthy diet
  • why eating a balanced diet is important for overall health
  • the different parts of food packaging
  • current healthy eating initiatives and guidelines
  • what allergies and intolerances are
  • how to embed food education into the curriculum

What makes myChange different to other providers?

We don’t just hand over the lesson plans and vanish. You get ongoing support from our team all through the year with half termly virtual check-ins and unlimited email Q&A.

What else comes with the subscription?

You’ll get a Food Changers certificate to put towards other accreditations and awards. Also, you’ll have access to new resources and games, and we’ll support you in setting up parent workshops and awareness weeks.

Can we save some money after the first year?

If you don’t need us to train anyone else up after the first year, we can reduce your subscription by 15% in year two, making it £26.50 per class.

We’re a special school, can your team provide something bespoke?

Not at the moment unfortunately. While we don’t provide resources tailored for specific learning needs, we can offer our virtual training to special schools for free. The staff can then implement the info into their lessons as they wish.

How many staff members can do the training?

We encourage one teacher from each year group (one to six) to attend the training but it’s always good to have more people on the same page, so if there are a few more staff interested just let us know.

Can we try before we buy?

If you’re interested, we’ll happily send over some preview lesson plans and resources. Check out the online portal here

Is there any other way you can help our school?

We love a challenge and are always willing to help out with a school’s healthy eating week or allotment planning. Again, drop us a line and we’ll see how we can help.

Your question not here? Send us an email with your question and we’ll get back to you soon.
