School Meals - Primary
Nutritional Standards for Food and Drink in Schools
National regulations for school meals in Scotland changed in April 2021. The changes are to help reach the Scottish Dietary Goals and to minimise the risk to the health of children and young people. By limiting the amount of red and red processed meat; reducing the intake of fat, sugar and salt; and increasing fibre, fruit and vegetables we’ll get closer to those goals.
How much do school meals cost?
All P1-P5 children are eligible for free school meals. The Scottish Government has made a commitment to extend the offer of free school meals to pupils in P6 and P7 whose families are in receipt of the Scottish Child Payment(SCP).
School meals can be purchased online through Ipay or at the school. Children who are eligible for free school meals will be credited with a daily allowance within the cashless catering system used in primary schools.
P1-5 Free
SCP P6-7 Free
P6-7 £2.50
