School Lunch


Gairloch Primary School and Nursery pupils take lunch in the High School canteen. A wide choice of meals is offered over a three week menu. Currently, the cost of a meal is £2.30 for P6-7 pupils. Nursery and P1-5 pupils receive lunches free of charge.

The Highland Council operates a ‘Cashless Catering’ system.

If your child requires a special diet to allow for allergies, intolerances, diabetes etc, you should complete a Special Diet Request Form, available from the school office. The request will be considered in consultation with the school meals service and where appropriate advice will be sought from a dietician. If you are requesting a diet for health reasons but this has not been prescribed by a dietician or doctor, we recommend that you inform your GP so that they may provide any necessary supervision or advice.

Packed Lunches


Pupils taking packed lunch are supervised in the High School dining hall. The Education authority has issued advice regarding packed lunches:

  • All food to be carried in a semi-rigid container with a secure lid and separated from school books, Chromebooks etc.

  • Glass bottles or containers and vacuum flasks containing hot food or liquid or fizzy drinks are not permissible in school.
