Healthy eating is something we support and a range of meals are available at lunchtime that meet the Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Act 2007 and the Nutrient Requirements for Food and Drink in Schools (Scotland) Regulations 2008.
The menu consists of a three course meal and children also have access to unlimited bread, salad and vegetables. All meals include fresh chilled drinking water and milk will be available for those pupils entitled to free school meals through the free school meal eligibility scheme at lunchtime. Milk is also available to buy at a cost of 20p.
Please note that milk must be ordered and paid for in advance using Parent Pay.

Free school Meals
Children of parents who receive the following benefits are entitled to a free lunchtime meal for their child.
- Income Support, Universal Credit (where your take home pay is less than £610 per month), Job Seeker’s Allowance (income based), Employment and Support Allowance (income related), Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit (where your gross annual income does not exceed £6,420 as assessed by the HM Revenues and Customs), Child Tax Credit Only (where your gross annual income does not exceed £16,105 as assessed by the HM Revenues and Customs) or receive support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- If you are in receipt of Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Reduction there is no need for you to apply online, we will use the information we hold to automatically award free school meals (P4 to S6).
We would encourage parents of children who are in receipt of any of the above benefits to take up this opportunity of having a meal provided for their child when they are at school. Arrangements are in place so that children who receive free meals are not singled out and we encourage all children to remain in school at lunch time.
Further information about free school meals and clothing grants can be found on South Lanarkshire Council’s website by clicking here.
