The Healthy Eating in Schools (Nutritional Standards and Requirements) (Maintained Primary Schools) (Wales) Regulations 2025

These Regulations apply to local authorities and governing bodies that provide food and drink on a school day to registered pupils at maintained primary schools, whether the food and drink is provided on school premises or not. For the purposes of these Regulations, “maintained primary school” means a maintained school that provides primary education (whether or not it also provides other kinds of education). “Maintained school” means a community, foundation or voluntary school, a community special school or a pupil referral unit in Wales or a maintained nursery school as defined in regulation 2(1). Where a maintained primary school also provides secondary education, these Regulations will apply only to food and drink provided to registered pupils in year 6 and below.
