Allow children to choose whether they can have a packed lunch on any given day.
A lot of children are refusing to have school meals (even those entitled to universal free meals until year 2) because they don't like one or two meals.
All other schools in the area allow children the choice to choose their meal day by day. We ask that our children have increased freedom to their meals and as a minimum that they can choose to have a hot dinner or pack-up on any given day.

Definitely atleast the choice to pick and choose days for school dinners / pack up.
This would make my life as well my children’s much less stressful as I have enough to try and keep on top off,
Only asking for the chance to send a packed lunch when a child doesn't like the meal. Shouldn't be a difficult change to make and clearly works at other schools.
My daughter does not like some of the meals on some days and is very hungry when she gets home from school. It would be great if there could be other options such as a sandwich.
This has needed to change for a long time. A lot of other schools manage to provide school meals on chosen days
Allow a mixture
Ridiculous rule scrap it

We need a better choice of mixed school dinners and pack lunch!! With a child that has dietary requirements this would be ideal!!
