National School Meals Week is organised nationally by the Local Authority Caterers Association and promotes healthy school meals. A school lunch helps young people to ‘recharge their batteries’ and be at their best for afternoon lessons. Themes this year include: Get eating, Get travelling, Get creating, Get 5-a-day and Get remembering.
All Stockport schools are taking part in the Get Travelling theme on Tuesday 8th November. The School Meals team has created a special menu for the day featuring dishes from around the world.
