Little Kitchen

Super grateful and excited to have fish for our school to do a workshop with our students that have chosen food as their GCSE Kings International College 🐟

I had such an amazing win with a year 8 student today. We were making macaroni and cheese and the recipe asks for tomato to be sliced and put on top. He was not keen. After seeing the beautiful tomato that his mum sent, I had him rinse it under the tap, I then cut it in quarters and gave a quarter a sprinkle of salt, I gave it to him, and told him to try it, he took a small bite, I watched out the corner of my eye, his eyes grew big, he took another bigger bite and within 5 minutes he had devoured the entire (larger than normal) tomato. He kept says “mmm this is good”. I love when I get kids to try new foods. I hope he is converted 🍅 💛

Today, Benedict’s Law has received Royal Assent. His Majesty's clerks announced the King has granted his assent for The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act during the prorogation of parliament.

From an idea born out of loss, to something written into law — this moment means everything.

It means allergy safety is no longer guidance or expectation. It is the law, for every school, for every child.

We are so grateful to everyone who stood with us, believed in this, and helped carry it forward — from campaigners and clinicians to parliamentarians across both Houses.

Nothing will ever change what happened to Benedict. But today, his name will help protect other children.

And that is something we will carry with us forever.
