Parents are divided about the initiative, with some believing it to be a 'good idea' while others were 'astounded' it had been planned.

The school's announcement said:"Sustainability is a key theme of our curriculum. Therefore, we are launching: Meat-free Monday! "A growing demand for beef by a growing population is the number one cause of deforestation. In the UK, we eat 25 per cent - 50 per cent more meat than is recommended by the World Health Organisation.
One parent said:"I’m actually astounded at this, especially from a farming family in little old Broseley. However, another said:"I think this is a fantastic idea. Meat isn't coming off the menu altogether, just one day a week. Which will make a difference environmentally and open up a conversation about eating sustainably, farming, different ways of living, encourage them to try new foods, and so much more."
"Had the school named this mac n cheese day, no one would have a problem with it having no meat, yet [people] feel upset about a missing sausage which probably doesn't have an awful lot of nutritional value anyway."After the backlash, the school has said it would review its menu and will now invite farmers into the school to educate children about the farming industry.
