I’ve had a response from Chineham primary school, following a FOIA request. I will add more detail when time allows, but it’s worth quickly noting a couple of points from their response:
The school has made no financial contribution to participating in the project [and] Chineham Park Primary school participated in the FFTB [Food for the Brain] project from Sept 06 through to June 07 and at no point did the school withdraw from the project.
I am certainly pleased that Chineham managed to avoid paying FFTB for the project. It sounds like they might have come out of this rather well: getting assistance with improving the quality of school food, and all free of charge. It’s just a shame that this had to come packaged with so much really bad science.
