LEOMINSTER'S Morrisons store is launching a new free education programme designed to help children understand where their food comes from.

The Academy of Food website will help Leominster’s schoolchildren – from seven to fourteen years old – discover how Morrisons food is produced, with lessons, activities and videos on farming, fishing, baking and growing that link to the new curriculum.

Schools will be encouraged to visit the store to see the journey of food from field and sea through to point of sale.

Whilst there, children can also learn from academy-trained butchers, bakers and fishmongers, to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare delicious, healthy dishes.

To access the Academy of Food and its resources, teachers should log on to academyoffood.morrisons.com to complete a short registration.
