In the wake of the national outcry and local parents getting in touch with us, we asked Marriotts headteacher Beth Honnor if the school thought Cucina were providing enough food and a balanced diet with their hampers.
This afternoon, Ms Honnor explained that the school would be reverting to the Edenred voucher system, where parents are offered monetary vouchers to be used themselves in eligible supermarkets.
In a statement provided to the Comet, she said: At Marriotts, we take the support of our students and their families very seriously. We know that during this challenging time, some families are facing particular financial hardship.
