My 5 year old and lunches at school

He’s 6 in October and will be starting year one in September.
He’s so extremely fussy with food.
Both packed lunches and school dinners are a problem. He won’t eat anything in a packed lunch except fruit, crisps and some sort of biscuit or chocolate bar. Refuses sandwiches, cheese, yogurt and so on.

School dinners were okay when he first started but he’s got much more fussy as time has gone on. I just have no idea what to do as he’s hardly eating at school.

Can you just give him what he'll eat?

I remember going through a phase of only eating plain pasta and cheese as a child, for years.

I also remember going round someone's for the day and their mum put an Oxo cube in the pasta, so I didn't eat anything all day. Looking back, I have no idea why I was so fussy! I think kids go through these phases
