School meals in Scotland have undergone a transformation over the past few years due to the ‘Hungry for Success’ initiative which introduced nutritional guidelines for school lunches.
With ‘Hungry for Success’, nutrient standards for school lunches are calculated to ensure that the school lunch provides a third of the daily nutritional requirements of primary and secondary school pupils.
The nutrient standards represent the amount of energy (calories) and nutrients required to be provided by an average day’s school lunch. School meals in Fife are planned to provide choices which are tasty and nutritious and offer a balanced diet over the week.
A Primary school lunch consists of a choice of main course with bread and salad available, either soup or dessert plus fruit juice.
Special diets can be catered for, including help with food allergies.
School Lunch is now ordered through the online IPAYimpact system where you will have registered with when your child was in Nursery.
We suggest that you access the site weekly, (on a Sunday) with your child so that you can order lunch or identify what your child will be doing for lunch eg school dinner (order meal), packed lunch or home dinners.
