Is there advice available for residential special schools providing meals other than lunch (e.g. breakfast, tea and supper)?
The food-based standards for all school food other than lunches apply to all food and drink provided by local authorities or school governing bodies to pupils during a school day (up to 6pm). Therefore food and drink provided in a residential special school before 6pm (e.g. breakfast, break times, tea) is required to comply with these standards. There is a guide to these standards on the School Food Trust website that outlines the food and drinks that can be provided during the school day, and gives examples of food and drink options that meet these standards here.
