Information on the total volume of milk supplied to schools in 1986 and 2015 is not held centrally.

The School Food Standards require that milk is made available to all pupils. Where milk is served as part of lunch, it is provided free to all pupils in reception, year 1 and year 2 and to pupils of all ages who are eligible for free school meals.
