	Gold standard \| Schools special reports \| EducationGuardian.co.uk
		The intake was skewed, but Kidbrooke was at least a historic first step towards the eventual ending of the universal 11-plus and the tripartite system of education (grammar schools, technical schools and secondary moderns) that consigned the majority of youngsters to the educational scrapheap.
		Kidbrooke was a model school in many ways, offering practical courses that combined work experience and "day release", as well as high standards of teaching in academic subjects through to the sixth form.
		A school prospectus stated: "Catering as a career for girls is one which has many channels, along which the trainee may move as she desires, to any of the following posts: as cook, waitress, chambermaid, linen-keeper, house-keeper or receptionist." Every week, the second-year girls produced and served a meal to staff and visitors.

		Jamie's School Dinners was a four-episode documentary series broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK from 23 February to 16 March 2005.
		Secondly, the students at the school were so used to eating processed meat products and chips (french fries) that Oliver faced a student revolution when he banned junk food from the school.
		After a disastrous start at Kidbrooke, with students refusing to eat and dinner ladies threatening to resign due to overwork, Oliver organised a "boot camp" for dinner ladies in the borough, roping in the catering division of the British Army to demonstrate how to cook large amounts of food quickly and efficiently.

	Jamie's School Dinners, Kidbrooke School, Greenwich
		School dinners have never exactly been on the top of anyone's culinary memories but, according to reports school lunches are just getting worse and worse.
		But whoever would have thought the saviour of school dinners would be cheery mockney panhandler Jamie Oliver, who has been deployed to Greenwich's Kidbrooke School to turn school dinners around in his latest series, the imaginatively titled Jamie's School Dinners.
		Jamie's School Dinners doesn't seem to be just another vanity project for the chef but an example of his beliefs - the series is an opportunity for Jamie to bring his concerns to a wider audience and lobby the government in to changing their policies at the same time.

		Kidbrooke was a showplace comprehensive whose head, Mary Green, was made a dame; it had some 2,000 girls and about 15 forms to each year.
		There is a fictional scene of disgrace in my first novella, Dust Falls on Eugene Schlumburger, which is set at morning assembly in Kidbrooke's vast and intimidating school hall, wherein three bullies are shamed for not only beating up a younger pupil but for not wearing their berets at the time of the offence.
		My time at Kidbrooke was marked by fear - of truancy discovered, games lessons spent hiding, homework not done, of having to wear clothes "more suitable for a dance hall" because my uniform, on order, had not arrived in the shop.

		With a daily absence rate of 150 pupils, Kidbrooke School in Greenwich was finding it hard to manually contact every parent on the first day of a child's absence.
		She said parents were also more pro-active about informing the school if their child is going to be absent for a genuine reason such as sickness, because otherwise they know they will be called by the system.

		However, many schools are trying to explore healthier options — and when Kidbrooke School in Greenwich decided that it was time to unplug the deep fat fryer, they found that they had an unexpected ally.
		And he insists that his attempt to makeover Kidbrooke's menu is not an implicit criticism of the dinner ladies or the school.
		Five years ago, school chef Jeanette Orrey decided to change the menu at East Bridgford St Peter's Church of England Primary School in Nottinghamshire after becoming disillusioned with her job and with the food that she was cooking.

		In other schools, it is reported that children have set up their own ‘fl markets’ in junk food, selling sweets to each other behind the bike sheds or in the toilets, as if they were dealing in deadly substances.
		This might show that children are as wily as ever when it comes to breaking the rules; it also suggests they are developing a pretty screwed-up attitude to the joys of food in general (see The junk food smugglers).
		We also now have the prospect of ‘fat charts’ in schools, where children will be weighed by school staff to see if they are the ‘right weight’ for their age, height and gender (4).
