At Newmains Primary we serve lunch in our dining hall. The canteen offers a variety of healthy options as well as sandwiches, fruit, cakes, yoghurts and drinks. A full school meal costs £3.10 and the value of a free dinner school meal is £3 .10
There is a vegetarian option available each day.
The menu changes each term and will be given out to pupils and can be accessed online too. https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/schools-and-learning/school-meals/meal-menus/primary-school-menu
We operate a cashless canteen and parents can “top up” cards online to pay for school meals, see our parent page for a guide on how to do this.
All children in Primary 1 to Primary 5 are entitled to free meals as of January 2022.
Information and application forms for free school meals for Primary 6 & 7 pupils may be obtained from first stop shops or can be downloaded here.
All school dinner pupils eat together in the school dining hall, and pupils having a home packed lunch sit in the activity hall. This is extremely beneficial for children who prefer a quieter lunch experience.
We operate a rolling lunch over a number of sittings, although at present we operate a staggered lunch break.
