The school has grown significantly in the last few years but the school hall has not been extended. As a result children in key stage 2 are required to eat their lunch outside as hall is taken up with key stage 1 children and hot dinners. That's fine in the summer or on fine days when it's dry but every year it irritates me as they continue to eat out in the rain or on very cold days. I Am told a classroom is available when it's pouring with rain but in practice it's very rare.
Last time I raised this I was told that children could eat indoors if requested but in practice the dinner ladies don't let them in or they have to wait outside the hall for the entire playtime for hot dinners to finish meaning they get no time to play outside.
I am not happy with this at all and think my children don't eat much in the winter as a result because they"'really too cold or it's too wet to sit down anywhere. They all ate outside today in drizzly rain standing up and I am cross about this. So, before I complain again, AIBU?
