THE headteacher of Thornton House Special School, in Worcester, has invited school-food campaigner and celebrity chef Jamie Oliver for lunch.

Hugh Thomas sent the letter to Mr Oliver, the driving force behind Channel 4's Jamie's School Dinners - because he is so confident of the quality of food served in the Wyld's Lane school.

A similar invitation was also extended to the popular chef by Dines Green Primary School, in Tudor Way, last week.

In his latest series Jamie Oliver found just 37p was being spent on some school meals and many dinner ladies simply reheat "junk" food for children.

Largely thanks to Mr Oliver's campaign, the Government has agreed to raise the average spending to 50p per meal.
