Kidbrooke School At Kidbrooke, Oliver first encountered the school's seemingly-fearsome head dinner lady, Nora Sands. Although the two clashed frequently over matters from kitchen technique to workload, Nora eventually became Jamie's most ardent supporter throughout the series and the campaign.
Oliver had his work cut out for him: firstly, the daily budget for school dinners was a mere 37 pence (approximately USD$0.65) per child. 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. Thirdly, Oliver's unconventional ingredients and meal ideas startled the dinner ladies, increased their workload dramatically, and exceeded the allocated budget.

Durham Statistically, the English county of Durham had the highest rate of health problems among school children in the country. Oliver visited a primary school in Peterlee, and realised that part of the problem with getting kids to eat healthier food was the food they were eating at home. He visited a young boy's family and convinced them to try a healthier home-cooked menu for a week. County Durham is a county in north-east England. ...
