I still find it odd that schools provide meals. It's very rare in australia. We've always done packed lunches or bought from the school canteen (a treat for most kids).

Hi Ruth - mummza is correct, we are making a national TV programme on school food and I am aware that there is an issue in Northumberland with some schools possibly being unable to provide hot meals in the new year. Although I am not sure how many/how definite the plans are.

If I could contact  you directly I would be able to tell you more about what we are doing, but there is a limit to what I can put on here because the programme is mid-production.

You're more than welcome to look at our site and contact me through there but I imagine that I'm not allowed to advertise my email directly on here.

Weyhey!!! Good news! Parents and the school Governors met last night and it was revealed that the LEA have come to an agreement with the Governors and that school meals will continue from September!!!!

At least for the short term, that is. At least we now have some time to work together, gather all the facts and hopefully come up with something that will ensure the continued provision of school meals.

Watch this space!
