Dinners boost at Ysgol y Strade
Pupils at Llanelli’s Ysgol y Strade have been put in the driving seat when it comes to their school dinners.
Pupils have been taking part in a questionnaire so that Carmarthenshire’s Catering Service can gain a better insight in to what they like and dislike about school meals.
In return, pupils were entered in to a prize draw to win a signed Scarlets rugby shirt or a month’s worth of swimming vouchers for two.
Year 11 pupil Dyfan Watkins, and year eight pupil Dion Jenkins, won the swimming vouchers, and year nine pupil Alex Stewart picked up the signed Scarlets rugby shirt.
Helen Bailey, marketing and project officer for Carmarthenshire County Council, said it was all about giving pupils more control over what they eat during school hours.
“We wanted to pilot a questionnaire in comprehensive schools to see if we could have a better insight into what the pupils like,” she said.
“Information gained from the questionnaires will be relayed back to the catering team to try and target any problem areas, if any.”
