Schoolchildren have been banned from bringing in packed lunches after pupils took in cold McDonald’s to eat.
St Mary Magdalene Catholic Primary School in Milton Keynes took the action after staff noticed unhealthy lunchboxes being brought in by youngsters.
One pupil took in leftover sausage and chips while another had a full pack of biscuits.
From September, the school is insisting all its four to seven-year-olds have school dinners as a healthier alternative.
Head teacher Rosemarie Jones wrote to parents: "Children bring unacceptable lunches, for example two chocolate bars and a yoghurt or cold chips and sausage or a packet of biscuits and crisps.
"We've even seen children with a cold McDonald's in their lunchbox. How can this be healthy?"
She added: "It is better for the children's health to have a nutritious meal. And it is free."
But parents hit out at the decision. One said: “My child won't eat if they can't have their packed lunch."
Mrs Jones said pupils would be given a choice of a hot meal or they can order a packed lunch.
