A SCHOOL in west Cornwall has retained its title for offering the best school food in the South West by winning a prestigious Taste of the West award.
Cape Cornwall School in St Just was named best in The Local Food in Schools category, having won for the first time in 2011.
Judges commented that the school's philosophy of encouraging greater uptake of school meals and teaching of sustainability and sourcing really shone through.
Head teacher Julie Nash said: "To be recognised for a second year in a row is just amazing.
"The fact that much larger schools and organisations have been pipped to the post by our tiny little school, with real ideas for protecting the environment and keeping Cornish produce at the top of the agenda, makes me exceedingly proud to be the head here."
Other winners included the Halsetown Inn, which received the rare Gold Award while The Turk's Head in Penzance, The Queen's Arms in Breage, and The Coldstreamer Inn in Gulval all gained Silver Awards.
