The basics - life in a school kitchen

Meet Tom! Star of many of our videos and the Head Chef and Food Educator at Gayhurst Primary School – part of the Leap Federation. Tom worked as the Head Teacher at the Jamie Oliver Cookery School before joining Chefs in Schools late last year. The opportunity to teach children about food was right up Tom’s street. He also runs the kitchen at Gayhurst, planning the menus and overseeing a small team that makes and bakes everything from scratch. Together they feed over 500 hungry primary school aged children each day. When lunch has been served, Tom runs lessons for the pupils. They join him in the kitchen and learn everything from knife skills to baking.  

Tom says: “There’s no normal day but we come in and do prep for lunch. We’re always mindful about food waste, so if we’ve served up broccoli with a main, we might then do a broccoli sauce for pasta – using the leftover stalks to stop them being thrown away. We bake fresh bread, include fresh fruit in desert and always like to be creative!

“At lunchtime we have to feed 500 children and 50 adults – it’s busy! The good thing is, the hours give you a work/life balance so you have the time to plan and to be creative. You also have a good team to work with. If you have a plan and a good team, you can do anything!

“It’s very satisfying seeing the kids coming in everyday and eating the food. Sometimes there’s the challenge of getting them to try a new food but when you crack that and see them enjoy it for the first time, that’s really heart-warming and very rewarding. I also really love talking about food and I get to do it with the most enthusiastic bunch of people ever – children! It’s really a lot of fun.”
