SCHOOL MEALS
Our school provides a lunch service which offers a variety of meals and snacks. In Glasgow, all P1-P7 children receive a free school lunch. Special diets for children with medical requirements can be provided. A letter from GP or hospital will be required for the catering staff. Please inform the Headteacher of any specific dietary requirements on medical grounds.
Children can also bring a packed lunch to school – please note we are a NUT FREE school.
Information and application forms for free school meals may be obtained from schools and at:

We also provide a breakfast service from 8am. Children can purchase a healthy breakfast of fruit juice, cereal and toast for £2 per child per day / £1 for additional siblings per day.
Free School Meals
All children in P1-P7 are automatically entitled to receive a free school lunch. This is called ‘Universal Entitlement’.
Glasgow primary schools also offer a breakfast service each day.
Those who receive a free school meal via universal entitlement will not automatically qualify for a free school breakfast.
To receive a free breakfast at school, you must have completed a free school meal application and be financially eligible (see eligibility section below).
For those not currently entitled to a free school meal, a charge of £2 per day is made. For siblings, the oldest child pays £2 and subsequent children pay £1.
If you are not currently in receipt of free school meals and think you are entitled, please
apply here. Please refer to the eligibility section below to see if you qualify before submitting an application.
If your child has newly enrolled into P1 this year and you think you are entitled for free school meals, you must apply if you have not already done so. They will not be enrolled for free school meals automatically.
New applications will be processed as soon as possible, and if eligible, your child should receive free school meals within four weeks.
Please ensure to advise Glasgow City Council of any change in circumstances as this could affect your entitlement/eligibility.
Holiday Payment
Glasgow City Council provide funding to support eligible families over school holiday periods for children and young people who are in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM) in P1 to S6.
All P1 to P7 pupils receive Universal Free School Meals at school, however only families eligible on financial grounds will receive these additional holiday payments.
Please note that pupils starting P1 in August 2027 are not entitled to the summer free school meal payment.
This does not apply to early years establishments/nursery pupils.
You will automatically receive these payments directly into your bank account if you are eligible and meet the criteria – you DO NOT need to contact Glasgow City Council or make a new application for each payment.
These payments are currently made four times per year; the Easter break, Summer break, October break and Winter break.
Please ensure to advise us of any change in circumstances as this could affect your entitlement/eligibility.
