School Meals
It is the Authority’s policy to provide meals and facilities for the consumption of school made lunches and packed lunches. Three choices of school meals are available for Primary pupils and one option for Nursery. Pupils are issued with a menu a term in advance and are asked to choose an option at the start of each day. Payment for lunches can be made on ParentPay, this is added immediately to the pupil’s lunch card. Pupils may choose to bring a packed lunch which is also eaten in the dining area.
Parents may also choose for their child to have a home lunch; however, a class teacher or school office must be informed at the start of the school day. The school’s responsibility for the pupils at lunchtime relates to those who remain at school for either a school lunch, or a packed lunch. Parents/carers are responsible for pupils who go home for lunch.
There is no requirement for sch9ool staff to pass a primary age pupil int the care of an adult, so parents/carers must have clear arrangements in place, including whether the pupil can make their own way home, if they require to be met at the school and any contingency plans if arrangements are to change
