A mother who sent her child to school with a Smartie sandwich!

The chocolate-filled butty has prompted calls for an overhaul in pupils’ diets at the Lincolnshire school – including a trial of free school meals.

Health workers at NHS Lincolnshire went in to assess what pupils were bringing in for lunch – and found a wealth of youngsters were gorging on crisps, sweets and chocolate.
