School Meals Changes August 2020

School Meals Changes August 2020

Things will be a bit different when we return for the new school year. It is important that we follow strict procedures to keep everyone safe while there is still any risk of the coronavirus spreading again.

We are taking cash out of the process which will help reduce the spread of the virus. (Localised solutions will be in place for anyone who is unable to sign up for online payments.)

Many parents/carers have already signed up to use online payments, those who have not registered will receive a text message with a unique reference number for each child.

Once you have received the unique account reference number for your child/children you can sign up using the instructions Register for Online School Payments

If you have already registered for online school payments for either school meals or school trips and other expenses, you will not receive a text, you just need to click on the make a payment link below and sign in and top up your child’s school meal account.

NLC Update – 23rd June

Today’s announcement from the Scottish Government outlines the plan to reopen all schools on a full time basis from August.

We are currently considering the practicalities and implications of this announcement and will await further clarification and guidance from government, particularly in relation to public health and scientific advice.

Our priority is the safety of our pupils and staff across our network of primary, secondary and ASN schools, as well as our early learning and childcare settings.

We understand that you will have questions, and as this news was only announced today, we will make further information available on how this impacts on our schools and facilities in the coming days.

We are preparing for pupils to return full-time to school on 12 August and we will be working closely with our schools and partners, including our early years and childcare provision to establish our plans, which we will communicate as soon as we are in a position to.
