Primary school lunches

Our new 2026 to 2027 primary school lunch menu starts on Monday 24 August 2026.

Each day, we offer:

• two hot main meal choices, including a vegetarian option

• a sandwich option

• seasonal fresh fruit

• a vegetable side and salad choice

• soup or dessert, depending on the day

Menus are planned to give children familiar favourites while encouraging healthy choices. All meals meet the Nutritional Requirements for Food and Drink in Schools (Scotland) Regulations 2020.

We display allergen information and nutritional content for lunchtime menu items. This information is as accurate as possible and should be used as a guide.

Please note that menus may occasionally change due to ingredient availability from suppliers.

School meal prices

• free school meals are available for all pupils in Primary 1 to 5

• pupils in Primary 6 and 7 pay £2.71 per meal

If your child is in Primary 6 or 7, they may still qualify for free school meals:

Free school meals

Free school meals help make sure children can enjoy a healthy meal during the school day. Your child may be entitled to free school meals if you receive certain benefits and they attend a South Lanarkshire school.

Free school meals also include free milk for primary pupils. We make the process simple and discreet so all pupils anonymity is protected and they can enjoy their meals without feeling different.

Who can get free school meals

Free school meals are automatically available to all pupils in Primary 1 to Primary 5.

If your child is in Primary 6, Primary 7 or secondary school, they may still qualify for free school meals if you receive certain benefits. You can check eligibility and apply online by following the link at the bottom of the page.

How free school meals work

All schools use a meal payment system that protects the privacy and dignity of pupils who receive free school meals. Other pupils cannot tell who receives a free meal.

You can apply for free school meals and check eligibility on the School clothing grants and free school meals page.
