School meals should be brought back in house. If that was done, money could be saved and children could be fed during holidays. When I worked in a school in Westminster the lea outsourced the school meals service. I was horrified by what happened - the standard of food dropped to junk. When the chief cook and I decided to take the junk food (big profits) off the menu 1 day a week, the company complained to the school (I had to take the blame - they couldn't sack me). It wasn't that they were making a loss, just that their profit was cut!!! When the school meals service was run by Westminster, we did not have that sort of problem. Yet another reason for private companies to be barred from providing public services.

Lived in Wandsworth most of my childhood and had some friends who relied on school meals, it cannot be underestimated how important they are to some families, or how fortunate some of us are to not be dependant on them.

A great opportunity to really help local people in need. So sad that so many unfortunately need this service.

Appaling that free school meals this half term only applies to children with a social worker or known to Children's Services. Any child who is hungary should receive food.

No child in a country as affluent as the UK should go hungry. If they do it's a scar on our conscience.

What kind of country have we become that we need to petition our leaders to feed our most vulnerable children.
School meals should be always free
