Child Nutrition

The issue of healthy eating has been back on the agenda this week, first with a story on Tuesday that cooking lessons will shortly be compulsory for secondary school children. This has been followed by today's announcement that headteachers are being asked to design new lunch box policies, which will outline to parents what constitutes a healthy dinner.
