Jamie Oliver's School Dinners Improve Exam Results

An independent study showed the performance of 11-year-old pupils eating Oliver's meals improved in science and English, while absenteeism due to ill-health fell by 15 per cent. Oliver launched his healthy eating campaign with Channel 4 in 2004.

Oliver, who is currently championing the British pork industry, said: "Even while doing the programme we could see the benefits to children's health: it made them calmer and therefore able to learn. The results are fantastic - it's the first time a proper study has been done into the positive effects of the Feed Me Better campaign. It strongly suggests we were right all along."
