not happaening here but DS1 wouldn't eat it anyway...he is uber fussy and woulod rather go huingry than some o fthe meals they offer - healthy as they are

That sounds great. I wish my dd`s school would do that.

its only a scottish executive initiative but my daughters in p5 !!!!!!!!!!!!! so its no use to us

Yes ours are next week. Every child is entitled to a school meal for free for one day. It's a council/government initiative (I'm not in Scotland)

We have had this for the last 4 years, but it was taken away this term. It was for all primary schools in the district and all children, not just Yr3 and under. The government praised the local council as it was all part of a healthy eating campaign (long before the Jamie Oliver stuff), so the council logically took that as their cue to stop

Only problem now for parents is that it hits you hard when they suddenly start charging again.

Also, our take-up on school meals has dropped through the floor so the kitchen staff are talking of strike action because of cut hours/job losses.
