We would like your feedback about our school lunches. At the moment we are asking our children for feedback, but we will also reach out to parents before Christmas. Please see a member of school staff if you would like to provide immediate feedback.
We are seeing a change in the pattern of packed lunch choices which is causing us to reflect upon our staple choices. For example, this week on roast dinner day over 60 pupils had a packed lunch instead of a school dinner and a further 20 children chose to have a school prepared sandwich, this is considerably more than on other days when we serve sausage or pizza or similar. Highlighting that children and families are choosing to not to eat the more traditional, arguably more nutritious food, leaving us to wonder why this could be. The roast dinner day is our most expensive serving day due to the high cost of the meat, so we will be looking at the menu to see how we can weigh up preferred meals with nutritional content and costings. This is tricky! But we need to look at this going forwards to ensure value in our kitchen in addition to being responsive to the needs of our community.
Your thoughts would be greatly welcomed about this matter.
