Dear Parent,

Update on School Meal Provision

From February 2025 all parents/carers of children in primary 6 and 7 in receipt of the Scottish Child Payment will receive free school meals and all primary children will receive free school meals from 2026.

Until then, unless your child is eligible for a free school meal, all school meals provided for P6 & P7 must be paid for, including the breakfast service.

To make things easier for you we have introduced a new cashless system, which allows you to pre-order your child’s meals.

It will also provide you with an automatic reminder when your account is down to £3.50.

The Scottish Government has written off all outstanding school meal debts so all accounts that were sitting in a negative balance will be returned to zero after the Easter holidays.

From April 2024, pupils in P6 and P7 must have sufficient funds in their account either through online payment or as a cash top-up to the school.

Where funds go into debt of £20 or more reminders will be sent out from the school to parents/carers to remind them to top up their accounts.

Costs of a school meal 2024/25:

• Primary: £3.25
• Secondary: £3.30
