Salford City Council is encouraging parents and guardians to take advantage of the ‘nutritious’ school meals provided by Citywide Services.
Councillor Barbara Bentham, Lead Member for Neighbourhoods, Environment and Community Safety, said: “Citywide offers balanced and nutritious school meals on a varied menu cycle, which allows children to try out fresh, seasonal, local produce and food from across the world.
“Our teams ensure that there are suitable choices for those with intolerances and medical diets and our pre-ordering system – where available – can even allow families to help their child select the foods they like from the menu and order in advance. Citywide is all about creating lunch times to look forward to and building healthy, lifelong relationships with food.”
Citywide Services, which are part of the council, state they are ‘committed’ to offering a variety of healthy options that meet the dietary needs and preferences of all students. The council service provides school meals, cleaning and facilities management services to schools and businesses across Salford.
Research consistently shows that a nutritious meal significantly enhances students’ ability to concentrate, learn, and perform academically. Citywide school meals offer a variety of themed days, including Taco Tuesday, Pizza Party Friday, or International Cuisine Day.
