Having met with my school governors tonight I am feeling more and more convinced that it should be good practise for every school governor visit to be combined with a school lunch with report back to full governing body. I would actually like to talk to all the governors in Merton to explain why promoting school meal uptake is vital in protecting the interests of our most vulnerable kids.
My top reasons for increasing uptake:
- To guarantee the survival of the school meal service
- To ensure the most disadvantaged children get a decent lunch
- To give children at least 2 of the 5 portions of fruit and veg they need
- To keep prices down ( economy of scale will kick in)
- to improve quality of ingredients we need strong buying power
- to invest in training a new generation of school cooks
- to cut down our school carbon footprint
