PARENTS are due to meet the headmistress of an Oxford primary school that introduced halal meat in school dinners for all its pupils - regardless of whether they were Muslims or not.

Rose Hill Primary School brought in the policy before Christmas on the grounds of 'inclusivity'- without telling parents - and they are due to meet head Sue Mortimer today to discuss their concerns.

Parents said they were angry they had not been informed about the change, and the issue has sparked controversy from both sides of the debate.
