School offers pupils 'full roast dinners' in the morning to tackle hunger (opens original article in a new tab)

A Welsh school provides morning roast dinners to hungry students, while the Welsh government expands free school meal eligibility and invests in school facilities. The policy will be phased in starting with younger secondary students.

• Whitmore High School in Barry offers full roast dinners at 11 AM to address student hunger
• Welsh government allocates £15m to expand free school meals for secondary students by removing income thresholds
• £10m of the funding will upgrade school kitchens and dining areas
• Phased implementation of the policy starts with Years 7 and 8 in September, drawing criticism for excluding existing secondary students
