School meals

The scheme, which launches in April, plans to provide 750 schools with free meals to start the day.

Rosary Catholic Primary School in Stroud has been awarded government funding as part of a pilot.

Two schools in Amble, Northumberland, can now serve hot food after fixing an issue with their power.

Key areas of focus will be reducing use of ultra-processed foods and food waste, the department says.

Free school meals in Wales should be "healthier and more climate friendly", a leading academic says.

There are 82 pilot breakfast clubs in the West Midlands as part of Labour government programme.

More than 5,000 portions of vegetables will go to schools for the Eat Them To Defeat Them campaign.

The government scheme is due to be rolled out to all primary schools later this year.
