Schools urged to keep pupils in at lunchtime
The newly appointed chairman of the School Food Trust is to urge headteachers to bar pupils from leaving school premises at lunchtime, in an effort to promote healthy eating habits. Rob Rees says schools that have tried out the tactic have found that pupils’ behaviour in the afternoon is improved. Chris Davies, of the National Primary Headteachers’ Association, has criticised Mr Rees’s proposal, describing it as unimaginative.
