Jose Davies Kochakkadan, who is in charge of the kitchens at Marston Green Infant Academy, had made it to the final stage of the contest for the second time.
Last Thursday he represented the West Midlands against nine other top chefs from around the country.
In a contest held in Stratford-Upon-Avon, the finalists were asked to produce a two course children's meal on a budget of just £1.30.
Father-of-two Jose said that youngsters could be the toughest critics, but it was important to encourage healthy eating.
"If you can please children, you can please anyone in this world," he added.
He impressed the panel of chefs and catering professionals with an Indian-inspired main followed by frangipane made from mashed potatoes.
The eventual winner was Tracy Healy, who is the catering supervisor at a school in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
