My son and his friends regularly come home with a lunch box which is almost untouched because they have not been given enough time to eat and play.

Senior Management say that the children are given an hour for lunch but 30 minutes of this is 'supervised play' i.e. PE and another 5-10 minutes or so is probably taken up by lining up to go in to lunch / go back into the classroom. This leaves a maximum of 20 minutes to both eat, talk and try and get some playing time in with your friends. Having to do an afternoon of lessons on a nearly empty stomach can't be good for concentration and missing out on social play / interaction is also a false economy.

This petition is to get Senior Management to take the concerns of parents seriously and to increase the amount of time our kids get to eat and play at school.
