200,000 more children to benefit from free school meals in the North West
Every pupil in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 (aged between 4 and 7) is now eligible for free school meals.
Food standards have also been improved and are now designed to make it easier for school cooks to create imaginative, flexible and healthy menus, giving children the nutrition they need at lunch and break times.
Cooking is also back on the curriculum, so children can learn more about the food they eat and how to prepare it.
