Healthy eating in schools

Wales leads the UK in providing free school meals to all primary school children. This important step helps tackle child poverty and hunger, supports learners to achieve, and contributes toward improved health, making a real difference in schools and communities across Wales.

We're looking to update:

• what food and drinks can be provided in schools
• guidance on responsibilities for promoting healthy eating and drinking

These changes will help children:

• develop healthy eating habits
• access healthier food during school hours
• make healthy food choices

Good nutrition helps children perform better and reach their full potential.
