Education Authority tests school meal demand at ST Joseph’s Primary School
What happened
The Education Authority is testing demand for school meals at ST Joseph’s Primary School. The Authority has given the school the months of October and November to meet a specific uptake target. If the target is achieved, a catering manager will be appointed until June 30, 2027, and a wider review of catering provision across Fermanagh will follow.

Why it matters
The test follows the closure of the school kitchen, which prompted a campaign by parents and community members. Successful uptake could restore the school’s kitchen service and lead to the creation of a new catering management role.
