School meals are freshly prepared daily on the premises by our cook. Choices offered ensure a varied and attractive dinner each day.  A ‘fruit only’ dessert is offered daily to all pupils.

Pupils are provided with toast at morning intervals. Where initiatives are not in place to fund these snacks, parents pay for the snacks on a termly basis. In this way parents support us in our endeavours to promote healthy living across the school.

Payment for school meals should be made directly to CNES using the online payment portal: https://www.cne-siar.gov.uk/online-services/pay/

(Click on ‘Miscellaneous Payments’ then “Miscellaneous Payments” again, and then ‘School Catering’.  Enter full details including class along with child’s name.)  For further information, please contact the school office.

Pupils who wish to take packed lunches to school, eat them in the canteen with the other children.  Parents are encouraged to provide a healthy, balanced packed lunch for their child. Parents should let the school know in advance if their child has any special dietary requirements.

All pupils in P1-5 and all Sgoil Àraich children are entitled to a free school meal, and children in P6 and P7 whose family meets the below criteria are also eligible for free school meals.

It is important that parents who feel they meet these criteria apply, even if their child automatically receives a free school meal by virtue of being in P1-5. Bridging payments, which support with funding for meals during school holidays, are available for eligible families. If you feel you may be eligible, please apply for this support.
