Wrexham County Borough Council's School Meals Catering Service continually works towards providing a good range of healthier meal choices, in order to fulfil some of the nutritional requirements of growing and developing children.

The School meals catering service in primary schools offer a fixed price two course menu, with a daily choice of two main course meals, or filled jacket potatoes and salad or a packed lunch, plus a freshly prepared pudding or fresh fruit and yoghurt.

• Infant School Meal £1.75
• Junior School Meal £1.80

• Secondary School Cafeterias - various prices but iunclude a 'meal of the day' for £1.66

Vegetable choices are offered daily, along with a variety of carbohydrate alternatives including rice and pasta. Chips should be available only once a week.

The school meal gives children an excellent opportunity to try new foods early in their developing years. Whilst catering staff make every effort to encourage youngsters to choose healthy meals, it is vital that parents and schools give their commitment and support to encourage children to make the healthy choices and thereby bring about the required changes in children's eating habits.

The challenge for all school meals caterers is to provide food that pupils will enjoy and eat, and which also promotes good eating habits
