Petition Action

Stop schools charging a fee to allow children to eat packed lunches.

Petition Details

Some state schools are charging parents up to £1.80 per child daily to eat a packed lunch on school premises. This is as much as the cost of a school meal. Parents are paying twice to feed their children. The cost is disproportionate to the effort expended by the school to supervise lunchtimes.

Additional Information

This was uncovered by the teaching union NASUWT and reported in the press on 28th March 2016.
