Mum shares picture of tiny school dinner that leaves her son hungry every day

A frustrated mum has shared a picture of the 'tiny' portions of school meals that 'wouldn't fill a five year old' saying her son comes home from school hungry every day. Leanne Pengelly, 43, says that her 10-year-old son comes home hungry every day from Millbrook Primary School in Newport, Wales.

The frustrated mum managed to snap a picture of the free school meals provided at the school - showing a meagre-looking meal of cabbage, potatoes and carrots with some gravy. She discovered the tiny portion sizes after picking up her son from school early one day, and picking up his lunch at the same time.

Leanne, who raised concerns with the school's teachers, says that the meal would "barely fill a five-year-old". She said: “My son wasn’t well so I went to pick him up from school and they gave him his lunch to eat and I was shocked at how little there was.
