Simple terms explainer: 

Councils must make sure schools promote healthy lifestyles - like encouraging physical activity and emotional wellbeing - and provide food and drink that meet strict nutritional standards. They also need to promote school meals, protect the privacy of pupils who get free meals, and consider sustainability when choosing food. The goal is to help children grow up healthier and happier.
