The School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme provides over 2.3 million children in Key Stage 1 with a portion of fresh fruit or vegetables each day at school. Approximately 450 million pieces of fruit and vegetables are distributed to children annually. There are currently no plans to extend the scheme to include children in Key Stage 2.
