Free School Meals are available for those pupils whose families meet the criteria for eligibility. Details can be found on Aberdeenshire Council’s website as follows:

https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/schools/parents-carers/assistance/free-school-meals/

Unfortunately, if the application forms have not been submitted, the school canteen has to charge all pupils for their lunches until all the procedures, paperwork etc are in place.

If you think your child might be eligible for Free School Meals, please complete the relevant applications as soon as possible as the canteen has to charge pupils for their purchases until it has been confirmed that they are entitled to Free School Meals.
