Primary school meals menu

Primary School meals menu - from August 2024

This menu starts from Week 1 on 14th August 2024

The menu runs on a 3-weekly cycle, and has 3 main course choices each day, and a starter / dessert choice. Some of the smaller schools have a reduced menu with 2 main course choices each day, and a starter / dessert choice - please check with your school if they are offering the 3 choice menu or the 2 choice menu. You can read the 2 choice menu options here - Primary school meals menu - 2 choice options.

All pupils in Primary 1 - Primary 5 are entitled to a free school meal.

This menu is compliant with The Nutritional Requirements for Food and Drink in Schools (Scotland) Regulations 2020. This ensures more access to fruit and vegetables, reduction in sugar, red and red processed meat and ensures our children and young people have access to an appropriate amount of nutrients such as iron and vitamins. The menu meets the standard required by the Soil Association Food for Life Served Here Bronze Award, which promotes freshly made, sustainable and farm assured meals.
