Kids swapping 'poor' school dinners for packed lunch as quality is 'so bad'

Take-up of school meals in one Leeds academy has collapsed because the food is so poor, local councillors have been told.

“I would question some of the quality of the provision of the private sector in high schools and in some of the primary schools that are in multi-academy trusts. Their quality is absolutely not of the same quality that is in Catering Leeds at all.” The meeting had earlier been told that secondary schools gradually turned away from the council’s school meals as they were academised over the last 15 years. Being outside of local authority control, academies can still use council suppliers, but have the freedom to source goods and services from elsewhere if they wish.
