'I wouldn't feed my dogs that!': Mum's fury after daughter sends her photo of primary school dinner

A mum says she's disgusted with her child's school after seeing what she was served up as a school dinner.

Hollie Bullen, a Year 6 pupil at Westleigh St Paul's CE Primary School, in Leigh, Wigan, took the photo of the meal to prove to her mum, Nikki, that she's not being given enough food. The photo shows her yellow tray with one small burnt slice of pizza, three small slices of fruit and a drink.

Sharing the image on social media, Nikki, 34, said: "If your child goes St Paul's and [is] on school dinners I'd be putting them on packed lunches.

"Hollie took this picture because I was sick of her saying they don't get enough for dinner, well I can see why!! I wouldn't feed my dogs that!!"

Nikki, who works at B&Q in Leigh, goes on to say that she's reported it to Wigan Council and says that if you look up a child's intake online for a day, the meal Hollie was given 'doesn't even cover a quarter of it'.

"Yeah that's what they expect them to eat," she added. "Some of these kids with nothing go to school just for a hot meal!! That's embarrassing for a school!! AND THAT'S A PIZZA ON THAT TRAY."

Mum-of-four Nikki told the Manchester Evening News that she shared the photo online to highlight how much the pupils are being given. She said when she raised the issue with school, they were 'more bothered how I got the pictures' and about Hollie using her phone in school.

"Now I'd be asking your own schools to see their school dinners because my daughter has 10 pictures of 10 different meals and they are all like this," she added. "Only two things on a tray, absolutely shocking."
