Universal free school meals
Every child from Primary 1 to Primary 5 is now entitled to free school meals.
Further food support
We recognise that money can be tight and access to fresh food can be challenging. There are community organisations supported by us that can provide guidance and support.
School meals menus
School meals menus run on a three weekly cycle. Please see our school meals weekly rotation schedule or contact the school's Catering Manager to find out what week your child's school is on.
We continue to use organic, local and seasonal produce.
Please also note:
- all our main meals/snacks are served with two fresh seasonal vegetables/fresh salad and a piece of fruit
- every day we offer a pick and mix sandwich option, salad dishes, yoghurt, fresh fruit and free bread
- all meat on offer is sourced from local butchers with our chicken Red Tractor assured halal meat

Price of a school meal
In August 2023 we introduced the School Meal Crunch Deal for children and young people who pay for their school meals. This meal deal will continue for the 2024/25 school year.
Primary schools
Within our primary schools, the menu options remain unchanged but we have reduced the price of a school meal for Primary 6 and Primary 7, who pay for their school meal, to £1.08.
Our school meals will still be nutritious, with locally sourced quality ingredients prepared daily.
Secondary schools
Within our secondary schools, the Crunch Deal will be £1.08 for young people who pay for their school meals. Choose from:
- main meal
- deli option
- pizza/burger
- pasta/noodle/rice pot
Plus:
- 250ml carton of water (Radnor)/flavoured water (Radnor)
- a piece of fresh fruit
- soup or a yoghurt or a healthy biscuit or an additional piece of fruit
All other items are not included in the Meal Deal and will be charged at full price.
