SCHOOL MEAL PRICE INCREASE

Decision Maker: Deputy Leader and Lead Member for Education, Children and Families

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Purpose:

The decision that the price of school meal increases by £0.20p, with effect from 1st September 2021 and thereafter automatically raise school meals prices by up to £0.05p each financial year to keep up with the food market costs.

 

Decision:

To increase the price of school meal increases by £0.20p, with effect from 1st September 2021, and to authorise the School Catering team to automatically raise school meals by up to £0.05p each financial year. 

Reasons for the decision:

The Denbighshire School Catering service has not increased its school meal prices for 3 years.  The proposed increase of £0.20p on a school meal is required to cover inflationary costs; to maintain the level of service currently provided; and to provide a contribution to the savings required to deliver the agreed council budget for FY21/22.

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:

No interest to declare.
