“They haven’t eaten the food, but it’s still the principle. Food has been taken out of the bin - whether it’s wrapped or not. It’s disgusting.”

She added: “The school hasn’t apologised. They just said the sandwiches were wrapped, therefore the food hadn’t been contaminated.

“But, at the end of the day, it’s still a bin. There’s still
