A parent at a primary school in High Wycombe says children are being left with ‘head and stomach aches’ after allegedly getting just five minutes to eat their lunch.

The parent, who wanted to remain anonymous, has a child in year six at St Michael’s Catholic School in Wycombe and says a number of parents across the year group have raised concerns over the short lunchtime window since the autumn term began last month.

She was alerted to the problem herself when her daughter began complaining about not having long enough to eat her packed lunch at the beginning of October – with a growing concern stoked by five or six similar testimonies in a year six parents’ group chat.
