Price of Primary School Meals

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Cabinet is asked to consider a proposal to set the price of primary school meals from 1st September 2011

Decision:

(1) To AGREE that the price of a school meal for a pupil in the Council’s primary schools will not increase from 1 September 2011 and will stay at £2.00 per meal.

Reasons for the decision:

Although a price increase would help to offset increases in the cost of providing school meals, there is a continuing increase in the cost of living that affects all families in our communities and the Cabinet wishes to support families, particularly those on low incomes who wish to buy school meals

Alternative options considered:

A range of options was considered, from no increase in price to an increase of 10 pence per meal
