SCHOOL MEALS<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

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.\u00a0 Please inform the Headteacher of any specific dietary requirements on medical grounds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Children can also bring a packed lunch to school – please note we are a NUT FREE school.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We also provide a breakfast service from 8am. Children can purchase a healthy breakfast of fruit juice, cereal and toast for \u00a32 per child per day \/ \u00a31 for additional siblings per day.<\/p>\r\n

Free School Meals<\/h3>\r\n
All children in P1-P7 are automatically entitled to receive a free school lunch. This is called ‘Universal Entitlement’.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
Glasgow\u00a0 primary schools also offer a breakfast service each day.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
Those who receive a free school meal via universal entitlement will not automatically qualify for a free school breakfast.<\/div>\r\n
To receive a free breakfast at school, you must have completed a free school meal application and be financially eligible (see eligibility section below).<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
For\u00a0those not currently\u00a0entitled to a free school meal, a charge of \u00a32 per day is made. For siblings, the oldest child pays \u00a32 and subsequent children pay \u00a31.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
If you are not currently in receipt of free school meals and think you are entitled, please\u00a0apply here<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0Please refer to the eligibility section below to see if you qualify before submitting an application.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
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\u00a0not\u00a0be enrolled for free school meals\u00a0automatically.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
New applications will be processed as soon as possible, and if eligible, your child should receive free school meals within four weeks.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
Please ensure to advise Glasgow City Council\u00a0 of any change in circumstances as this could affect your entitlement\/eligibility.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Holiday Payment<\/span><\/h3>\r\n
\r\n
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.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
All P1 to P7 pupils receive Universal Free School Meals at school, however only\u00a0families\u00a0eligible on financial grounds\u00a0will receive these additional holiday payments.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
Please note that pupils starting P1 in August 2027 are not entitled to the summer free school meal payment.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
This does\u00a0not\u00a0apply to early years establishments\/nursery pupils.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
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\u00a0 or make a new application for each payment.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
These payments are currently made four times per year; the Easter break, Summer break, October break and Winter break.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
