Current arrangement not working as anticipated
The take up of free school meals throughout the Covid-19 pandemic hasn’t gone to plan according to the Education Minister.
Dr Allinson says following conversations with headteachers, his department will be unveiling a new voucher system to allow parents of those who would benefit from the free meals, to buy food in shops instead.
