Breakfast Club costs £2 per day per child. For siblings, the charge is £2 for the oldest child and £1 for subsequent children.
Glasgow City Council is driven to reduce the exposure to cash handling in our establishments and during the academic session 2020/21, we will be introducing an online payment system in our schools for all purchases including trips, concert tickets, uniforms and school meals.
However, as Glasgow has a substantial number of establishments, this will take some time to implement across the city. Due to the COVID -19 pandemic, concerns around cash handling have been heightened and therefore, we will be making some changes to our meals payments processes.
Interim Procedures
We will be introducing interim measures to remove cash handling for the payment of school meals. Please note that the free school meal and breakfast provision will revert to the pre lockdown eligibility criteria. https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/schoolsandlearning
How payments will be made
From 17 August, schools will not accept cash for school meals and breakfasts. Payment will be by BACS transfer only. Payments will be made:
- in advance – parents can pay weekly/monthly/termly (see table of payment rates)
- by BACS transfer
- by the close of business on the Friday, for the following week (the first payment will be due by Friday 14 August)
- using unique reference numbers per child (one for breakfasts and one for lunches)
