The snacks include fruit bowls, yoghurts and cereal bars 🍎

💬 Some parents initially raised concerns about the decision to ban pudding.

🏫 Scott Wilkie is among the best primary schools in the country.

Progress scores in core subjects at the Newham school, such as reading, writing and maths, are way above the national average 📚
🤔Do you think banning puddings at schools is a good idea?
