School Lunches

We’re delighted to offer a school lunch service that’s nutritious, flexible, and easy to manage for all families. Children can bring a packed lunch from home or order a school lunch. Classes eat together.

Meals That Matter

• All our school meals are carefully crafted by the City of Edinburgh Council, ensuring they meet Scottish Government nutrition standards with balanced, seasonal ingredients. Meals include at least two portions of fruit or veg, and are sourced locally whenever possible, supporting both quality and sustainability.  

• Edinburgh schools hold the Food for Life Bronze Award, reflecting commitment to healthy, low‑additive meals with minimal food miles.  

How It Works at Our School

• We do not cook meals on-site. Instead, they are prepared off-site and delivered fresh daily to our school, ensuring consistency and quality across all meals.  

• Parents order meals in advance using ParentPay, our secure online system. This enables weekly meal selection and convenient payment. Free P1–P5 meals are credited daily but still need to be ordered to ensure accurate provisioning. Transparency and flexibility are always at your fingertips.  

Free Meals for P1–P5

All children in Primary 1 to Primary 5 are eligible for free school meals during term time—no income conditions required.  

Even though meals are free, booking via ParentPay is essential to guarantee the correct meal is prepared for your child.  

Families can apply for free school meals for children in P6 & P7 on link below.

Why Early Booking Matters

To help our catering team prepare accurately and avoid any service issues (e.g. past glitches with unplaced orders), please book meals in advance via ParentPay every week.
