Additional funding for school lunches

The Scottish Government has recently announced additional funding for school lunches that will see a retrospective payment made to families in receipt of free school meals. Payments of £13.50 will automatically be made to family accounts if families are currently registered for free school meals, or PayPoint payments if families do not have accounts. 

While all pupils in P1-3 receive free school meals automatically, you will need to go to the sites below to find out if you are eligible to register. 

If you have not yet registered for free school meals please go to:

Further payments will be made for the Christmas, February, Easter and summer holidays.
