School Lunches

Aberdeen City Council schools are now using a new system for school meals, called ParentPay, which is the online payment service for school meals. This system has been rolled out to all schools from January-March 2023.

ParentPay provides customers with a seamless school meal service enabling parents/ carers to make fast and effective cashless top ups for school meals at any time of the day, view meal selection and receive support and advice from ParentPay. All of this is accessed through a secure online ParentPay account.

Meal choices for all primary school pupils, can be pre-ordered for your child for up to three weeks in advance via the ParentPay online account. There will still be an option for your child to choose a meal in the classroom on the day, just as they currently do, however, we would encourage you to pre-order the meal via your account to assist with meal preparation and the smooth running of meal service.

Your child’s school will send you written communication and details on how to activate your ParentPay account.
