Readers have given a mixed reaction to a Preston School that has banned unhealthy snacks including crisps as part of a healthy eating drive.
A community has responded to a school banning pupils from eating crisps as part of a healthy eating drive. Newton Bluecoat Primary School came under fire from parents after confiscating a pupil’s bag of crisps for being unhealthy. An in-house investigation is currently underway at the school, in School Lane, Newton with Scales, after an ‘oversight’ saw a pupil’s packet of crisp be confiscated.
” Debbie Wareing said: “I dont have children at school but this is ridiculous, if they want to control what children eat then they should provide them with free meals with full dietary requirements. So many parents are struggling to afford send kids to school as there is a daily living crisis.” Lisa Murie Whittaker said: “Lots of primary school have the policy no crisps at break just toast or a healthy snack but allowed crisps at lunch time.
