Review into Universal Free Healthy School Meals

Report on Comber Grove Primary School visit to follow.

 

Minutes:

5.1  The chair reported that the sub-committee had recently visited Comber Grove school to look at the delivery of Free Healthy School Meals (FHSM). The chair remarked that the school was doing amazing work in quite cramped conditions; furthermore, the children were very confident and charming.

 

5.2  A member remarked that the uptake of school meals was on the lower end. Kerry Crichlow, assistant director of strategy and support, commented that she would welcome the opportunity to give the sub-committee more detailed information on the uptake of meals since the introduction of FHSM.

 

5.3  The chair suggested that a visit to a school in the south of the borough would be good.

 

RESOLVED

 

Officers will update the draft report circulated internally on the visit to Comber Grove with additional information.

 

A visit will be scheduled to a primary school in the south of the borough.
