School meals are to receive a 280m funding boost to improve quality over the next three years, most of which will go directly to schools and local education authorities to ensure they spend a minimum 50p per pupil per day for primary schools and 60p for secondary schools. A School Food Trust will be set up with 60m of the funding to give independent support and advice to schools and parents. For details of the plans see the website www.dfes.gov.uk; also see our feature on page 14.
