Congratulations on your retirement

Stephanie Valentine

For almost 18 years, Stephanie Valentine has been busy working at the British Nutrition Foundation, championing for high quality food education throughout the UK, and internationally.

In the beginning of Stephanie’s career, she worked in secondary schools before being promoted to an Advisory teacher, and then Adviser for Design and Technology, in Redbridge, London. Stephanie has also been Chief Examiner for an awarding body, as well as an OfSTED inspector. Her career path then led her to take a position at BNF.

At the Foundation Stephanie has led numerous food and nutrition education initiatives throughout the UK, and internationally. Food – a fact of life is one such programme that Stephanie has played a pivotal leadership role in its development and ongoing success.

Her contribution to food and nutrition education has been outstanding and is difficult to encapsulate in one short blog. Stephanie has also sat on many Government boards and project groups, was a trustee for the Design and Technology Association and continues to be a Trustee for the All Saint Educational Trust.

We are grateful for Stephanie’s leadership and will miss her enthusiasm, bright ideas, clever thinking, warm humour and sharp wit. The Education Group  (Roy, Claire, Michelle, Georgine and Kim) at the Foundation, wish Stephanie all the best and hope she enjoys retirement.
