The Welsh Government currently has a consultation open on Healthy Eating in Schools.
The evidence is clear: healthy school meals can have a significant and positive impact on a child’s diet and good nutrition is vital for helping young people perform at their best – whether in the classroom, on the pitch, or pursuing their goals.
That is why the Welsh Government is proposing revised school food Regulations and Guidance for primary schools based on the latest UK Government dietary recommendations and best practice.
For secondary schools, the landscape is more complex with increased learner choice compared to primary schools, more grab-and-go options, and a range of eating patterns across the school day. Reflecting this, the Welsh Government has issued a call for evidence to better understand these settings before developing specific proposals.
The consultation and call for evidence will be open until 29 July 2025 and anyone with an interest in food, children’s health and education is welcome to participate.
