A headteacher is noticing the benefits of the club despite early challenges in the set up.

Barbara Middleton says she cannot afford to staff the government's free breakfast clubs.

Deep-fried food will be banned and high-sugar items restricted in schools in England under new plans to "overhaul" school dinners.

Students are more willing to try healthy meals when they grow the ingredients, a head teacher says.

Up to 120 pupils go to the free club at Lawley Primary and say it helps get them ready to learn.

Skegness Grammar School says it has ditched "beige food" in favour of "nutritious" alternatives.
