School meals are:
· Nutritionally balanced to ensure they are low in fat, sugar and salt and high in vitamins and minerals – healthier than many packed lunches
· Helping your child to concentrate throughout the day – a hot meal at lunch-time provides energy – as well as encouraging them to try new foods
· Produced to a high quality using locally sourced and wherever possible locally produced ingredients
· Helping your child to learn the social skills that eating and interacting with others brings
