SAVE UP TO £456 PER CHILD IN 2024 – Message for All Parents / Carers from Fife Council

Free school meals are available for ALL children in P1-P5 automatically, with no criteria to meet and no need to apply. If your child normally takes a packed lunch, why not encourage them to try a school lunch? It could free up valuable time for you and help you save up to £456 per child over the whole school year.

If you have children in P1-P5 who normally bring their lunch to school, why not earn yourself a break from making packed lunches.  It could be one way to save on the cost of the school day.  At this time of year, everything helps.

During 2024, we’ll be aiming to raise awareness about the kind of food options available and help you convince your children to try a school meal – there really is something for all tastes, textures and dietary needs.

As well as a range of cooked meals, there are healthy packed-lunch options too – filled rolls, sandwiches and wraps.  We try to provide something for everyone, whether that be for plainer eaters or children with special dietary requirements.  We are always striving to improve the quality and variety of what we provide.

Our menus provide a balanced diet over the week and at least one third of the daily nutritional requirements of pupils. You can download the Fife school meals menu and read more about school meals including menu information, ingredients and allergens at www.fife.gov.uk/schoolmeals

Parents and carers of children in Primary 6 and 7, and those with a young person in high school may also be eligible for Free School Meal Entitlement, but you must apply for this. To see if you qualify for this or other benefits go to www.fife.gov.uk/educationbenefits.

This time of year can increase money worries for everyone.  Make sure you’re getting the help you’re entitled to.  There’s also help available for those who aren’t eligible for any benefits – some support is universal, meaning anyone can get it.  Check if there’s anything that might ease the winter pressures for you at our.fife.scot/gethelp. You can see what other benefits you might be entitled to by using the Fife Benefits Calculator, which you’ll also find there.
