The British Nutrition Foundation Drummond Education Awards aim to recognise our future food and nutrition scientists, teachers and leaders at the very beginning of their careers. Since 1990, the British Nutrition Foundation has annually rewarded excellent work in food and nutrition studies in schools throughout the UK.

These awards are given to the students who received the highest grades from their respective examination boards in the food and nutrition courses they studied. We also congratulate their teacher too, recognising the hard work they carry out. Post-16 prize winners are listed below and GCSE and National 5 prize winners can be found on this page.
