School lunches

Healthy eating is something that the school supports and a range of meals are available at lunchtime that meet the Nutritional Requirements for Food and Drink in Schools (Scotland) Regulations 2020. 

For their lunch each day, pupils have the option to choose from two hot meal options, a snack option plus a vegan/vegetarian option. These are all served with vegetables of side salad. All meals also come with fresh chilled drinking water, salad, seasonal fruit and depending on the day, soup or a dessert. Pupils in: 

• Primary 1 - 5 receive a free school lunch. 

• Primary 6 - 7 meal is £2.62 

School lunches and milk should be paid for through your Parentpay account or Paypoint facilities in local shops.

School Meal prices are reviewed annually and may be subject to change. Special Diets If your child within Nursery, Primary or Secondary requires a special diet for medical reasons, please speak to the school/nursery office who will provide you with the request you need to complete. 

In addition, if you have a cultural diet request for your child, please speak to the school/nursery office who will provide you with a request form. 

Free School Meals Children of parents who receive the following benefits are entitled to a free lunchtime meal for their child • Income Support, Universal Credit (where your take home pay is less than £660 per month), Job Seeker’s Allowance (income based), Employment and Support Allowance (income related), Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit (where your gross annual income does not exceed £7,920 as assessed by the HM Revenues and Customs), Child Tax Credit Only (where your gross annual income does not exceed £17,105 as assessed by the HM Revenues and Customs) or receive support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. 

If you are in receipt of Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Reduction from us there is no need for you to apply online, we will use the information we hold to automatically award free school meals (P4 to S6) and/or school clothing grants (P1 to S6) to eligible families. We would encourage parents of children who are in receipt of any of the above benefits to take up this opportunity of having a meal provided for their child when they are at school. Arrangements are in place so that children who receive free meals are not singled out and we encourage all children to remain in school at lunch time. South Lanarkshire Council also offers a free Breakfast service, the service runs from 8.15am to 8.45am each school day.
