Naomi Duncan is the Chief Executive at Chefs In Schools. Naomi spent her early career running restaurants, cafes and bars in commercial, business and education settings. Inspired by the release of the School Food Plan in 2014, she quit her job and went to work directly with schools to help them implement the philosophy. Along with co-founder Nicole Pisani, Naomi leads the Chefs in Schools team to deliver their mission to improve child health through school food. The charity works hands-on in schools nationwide, training kitchen teams to cook all school food from scratch, reaching tens of thousands of children. Their proven model enables schools to serve fresh, creative and nutritional food, while also ensuring they can adapt menus to cope with challenges, such as Covid and the cost of living. As well as the direct work, the charity is campaigning for lasting reforms which will improve school food across the board.
