Benefits of good food in school
There is evidence that food eaten by young people at school affects their behaviour and ability to learn. By committing to a regular school meal you can be sure your child is eating well at lunchtime.
Some of the benefits include:
- Children can sit down together and enjoy their meal to develop social skills that are important in later life.
- A well-fed and happy child is more likely to be receptive to participating in the afternoon's activities.
- Someone else prepares and cooks lunch for your child, which saves you worrying about a packed meal every day.
