At present, the Education (Nutritional Standards for School Lunches) (Wales) Regulations 20015 set nutritional standards for school lunches only, for registered pupils at maintained nursery schools, community, foundation and voluntary primary and secondary schools and community and foundation primary and secondary special schools. These are minimum compulsory standards. Local authorities and schools are free to set higher standards.
