Do after school clubs run by private providers have to comply with the standards?
With the exception of nursery units within primary schools, the standards apply to all local authority maintained primary and secondary schools. Food and drink provided to pupils on school premises on a school day by local authorities, school governing bodies, or anyone else providing food on school premises (under an agreement with either the local authority or governing body) before 6 pm must meet the standards. Therefore, after school clubs and breakfast clubs on the school premises must comply with the food-based standards for school food other than lunches.
