What school meals are
We provide high-quality nursery, primary school, and secondary school meals which:
- encourage our children and young people to eat healthily
- meet the Scottish Government guidance on food, drink and nutritional standards (Scottish Government website)
- are packed with quality locally sourced, sustainable ingredients, including farm-assured meat products, free range eggs, certified UK Red Tractor chicken, and fruit, vegetables and milk from trusted local suppliers.
There are weekly menus for standard, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and sesame-free lunch options.
The menus alternate between week 1, week 2 and week 3 throughout the school year.
All meals are served with milk, soya milk or water, vegetables, salad, and fruit.
We also have a detailed allergen list and carbohydrate and fat count list for our nursery, primary school, and secondary school meals.
Meals are available to all children who are entitled to a free school meal and any child or young person who wants to buy their lunch at school.
Children at nursery are entitled to a free school meal if they attend nursery for the full day.
Prices for school meals are:
- Nursery - free
- Primary 1 to 5 - free
- Primary 6 to 7 - £2.35
- Additional Support Needs schools (ASN) - free

All of our schools use ParentPay, an online payment system that you can use to pay for school meals instead of cash.

Due to stock availability from our suppliers, school menus are subject to change at short notice, and some items may not be available.
Your school will let parents, carers and pupils know of any changes as early as possible.
