Free School Meal Entitlement
Dear Parents and Carers,
We would like to remind everyone that the Scottish Government’s universal free school meal provision currently covers children in Primary 1 to Primary 5.
For pupils in Primary 6 and Primary 7, school meals must be paid for unless the child is entitled to free school meals and qualify through the relevant application process.
While your child may now be eligible for Free School Meals, any debt that built up before this entitlement began is still outstanding. We would appreciate it if arrangements could be made to repay this balance as soon as possible.
If you think you may be eligible for assistance with school meal costs, information regarding free school meals can be found via the following link:
Free school meals and clothing grants | North Lanarkshire Council
You can pre-order your child’s school meals and make a secure online payment at any time with a debit/credit card for school meals and all other school expenses such as trips etc.
Many parents/carers have already signed up to online payments. For those of you who have not yet done this, registering can be completed via the following link:
Should you require any assistance with iPayImpact, please do not hesitate to contact the school office for advice and support.
