It is all part of a drive, led by the Marie Curie Cancer Care charity, to encourage young people to pick healthy foods from the school lunch menu.
Hannah Chapman, from the charity, explained it is an attempt to persuade youngsters to kick the junk food habit. She said: "We are delighted the school took part in our healthy eating campaign."
