Parent power in action!

Well done to parents and staff of Kirkliston Primary School who sucessfully campaigned to force Edinburgh City Council to re open their school kitchen. The resourceful parents did a brilliant job of collecting 1000 sigs for a petition and they persuaded children to committ to school dinners thus making the service viable.The school cook is absolutely right when she says that freshly cooked meals taste better than pre prepared transported meals.

The media love to tell us parents what a rubbish job we are doing - lets hope we will now be reading stories congratulating the parents at Kirkliston for saving school meals!

Well done to the council for listening to the staff and parents and then acting upon it.
