Dear Parent/Carer,

We are still encouraging children to have their lunch in school and to avoid going home during the school day, however, if it cannot be avoided then please note that lunchtime for all children is 12:15pm to 1:00pm.

Cost of lunch

The price of a two-course meal is £2.10 and consists of a main course plus soup, sweet treat fruit or yoghurt as indicated on the menu and the option of plain milk or chilled water. With each meal children also have a choice of two seasonal vegetables and/or salad with their lunch.

A free school meal entitlement is up to the value of the school meal price of £2.10. This includes all pupils from P1-P3.

Online Payment System

In response to the COVID 19 outbreak, we have made changes to our payment methods.  This includes taking cash out of the process which will help reduce the spread of the virus.

To register for our online system click here: https://www.ipayimpact.co.uk/IPI/mgslp?Bref=NLC.  The system will allow you to top up your child’s online account, view the menu and see what your child ordered each day.

If you require support with the online lunch system please email: onlineschoolpayments@northlan.gov.uk

Primary Menu

The primary menu runs on a 3-week rotation and you can view this on the online system and here: https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=5594.  Your child will be asked by their class teacher each day to pre-order their lunch so it can be ready for them in the canteen. It would help us, particularly for younger children, if you discuss the menu options with them in advance so they know what they are doing.

Free School Lunches

All P1-3 children are entitled to a free school meal each day.

For children in P4- 7, you can check your eligibility for free school meals and apply online at https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=5452.  If you require support with this you can email: fsm@northlan.gov.uk

Packed Lunches

Of course, your child can still bring a packed lunch to school and there is no requirement to eat from the canteen. We would ask that packed lunch boxes are labelled with your child’s name and that you do not provide any food that contains or may contain nuts. 

To help us, please ensure that snacks for the interval are not inside packed lunch boxes as this often confuses younger children who think they don’t have a snack to eat at the interval.
