Nottinghamshire parents are concerned their children are being left hungry due to small school dinners they claim lack nutrients. Some parents of pupils at Bulwell Academy feel there are not enough suitable options available for their children.
Parents at the school are able to see what their children are eating through ParentPay, which allows them to pay for school trips, snacks, and to see what the pupils have bought for lunch. Father of four, Craig Laird, said: "The issues with school meals is very concerning to me personally and my partner because we both have children at the school.
"The nutritional requirements are just not being met." Craig explained that due to the options available his children were often having to choose between a pizza slice, basic baguette or pasta.
