Hi All, Yes - it does depend very much on the school, the local authority, and also on whether the schools kitchens have been decommisioned! My grandson - a veggie - occasionally has school dinners, which cost about £1.60 per day - but if they have any *special* days (Christmas, St. Valentine, Hallow E'en etc) he is always asked what he would like, and given a choice of two or three dishes. But - he is fortunate. His school has kitchens, so they cook and source their own foods, so nothing needs be brought in - they are not allowed fizzy drinks in the lunchpacks, or chocolate, and the children are supposed to have fresh fruit etc. in the lunchpacks, which is always provided by the school cooks.
So - some children are lucky, and some are less so. But all credit to Jamie Oliver for the campaign - it seems to be having an effect generally.
