Merton Parents have sucessfully campaigned for improvements to school meals in our area, but we must not let the pressure off. Please express your views about the current food provision in Merton schools to some of the people below.

Primary Schools - There are still issues around poorly prepared food, small portions and food running out. As the current caterer, Initial, come to the end of their contract in July 2007, don't let them allow standards to slip back again.

Secondary Schools - still have further to go to reduce junk food and to improve the whole dining room environment.

See our Aims and Objectives for some further thoughts.
