PROVISION OF SCHOOL MEALS AND MILK
Milk is supplied free to all school children in the Borough.
According to a census taken on a day in September, 27,295 children in Maintained Schools received
one-third of a pint. This amounted to 92% of children on the Infant School roll, 93% of Juniors and 45%
of Secondary pupils.
In accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Education, free milk has also been supplied
to non-Maintained Schools since September, 1956. Approximately 1,200 bottles per day are provided.
All milk is pasteurised, and the sources of supply are under the constant supervision of the Medical
Officer of Health.
During the financial year 1966/67 the average number of meals served to children per day, was
24,300 during term-time, and 226 in school holidays.
Cost of Meals and Milk.
The total cost of Meals and Milk for 1966/67 has been estimated at £698,890 and the income from
payments at £221,250. This gives a net cost of £477,640 for which a grant of 100 per cent, from the Department
of Education and Science is payable on approved expenditure.
