School meal prices frozen
THE COST of school meals in Hampshire is to be frozen – for the fourth year running.
Councillor Roy Perry, executive member for children’s services and deputy leader of the county council, this week approved keeping the price at £2 a meal for both primary and secondary schools.
For this sum, pupils get a hot, two-course meal.
School catering chiefs say take-up has improved steadily year-on-year and has now reached a record high. Now nearly four out of ten primary pupils (39 per cent) have a school meal five days of the week.

I trust the picture is not a true example of a 'meal' given to kids!
