Do the nutrient-based standards require secondary schools to serve only two-course set meals, or can they still provide individual items (e.g. sandwiches)??
Secondary and special schools are required to meet the final food-based and nutrient-based standards for school lunches by September 2009. The standards do not require schools and caterers to provide two course lunches only, and there is no restriction on the provision of individual items at lunchtime. The Trust has worked with primary, and secondary and special schools from around the country to introduce the final food-based and nutrient-based standards for school lunches ahead of the mandatory deadlines. There are six , and there are case studies included in the guide to the nutrient-based standards describing how compliant menus were developed in these schools. Although the secondary schools featured in the guide (e.g. Royal Docks Community School in Newham) promoted meal deals to encourage pupils to select a balanced lunch, to increase the nutrient density of an average school lunch, and to increase the speed of service, individual items were also available for pupils to select.
