Update regarding Packed Lunches for School Trips
All children in P1 to P5 (and eligible pupils in P6 and P7) are entitled to a free school meal. For school trips, our catering service provides a free packed lunch for these students upon request. If your child is going on a trip and requires a school lunch, please select the relevant option via ParentPay. To help us manage food waste and ensure every child enjoys their meal, please only order this option if your child is happy to eat the standard school selection. If they would prefer a packed lunch from home, there is no need to place an order.
The standard school packed lunch typically includes: A sandwich with a choice of fillings, piece of fruit and a yoghurt and a drink (typically juice or water).
If you are providing a lunch from home, please remember we promote nut free and ask that no glass bottles or fizzy drinks are included for safety reasons.
