SCHOOL meals in Flintshire have been improved to address concerns over portion sizes - but councillors are still waiting for a detailed review.
-
Following widespread concern that the size of Universal Primary Free School Meals (UPFSM) was leaving older pupils in junior schools hungry, Welsh Government is set to approve new national portion size guidelines on October 7.
They are expected to replace the sliding scale - that allows schools to serve slightly larger portions to juniors - with specific new guidelines giving infant pupils half a standard adult portion each day and junior pupils three-quarters of a standard adult portion.
