How do I pay for primary school meals?

Online payments

Online payments are available in all primary schools.  This means you pay for school meals (as well as many other school activities) from your computer or mobile device. This facility includes payment receipt, balance status and menu transactions as well as automatic reminders should your account require additional funds.

Cash payments

Cash is no longer accepted on the school premises.  If you would like to pay by cash please contact the school office and they will give further instructions.

The menu offers healthier choices such as salad bars, fruit, milk, fruit juices and bread on a daily basis. The menu is also available with the following options:

  • Polish menu
  • Menu containing allergy information

To access all the Tayside Contract menus and for further information please use this link to School Catering by Tayside Contracts.

All schools operate a pre-order system to help ensure children get their preferred choice of meal. Children typically make their choice during morning registration in the classroom.  Please note that any meals ordered by children in error or who subsequently go home ill, may be charged for if the kitchen is informed of the error/their absence after 10.30am.

Medically prescribed diets and Nut and Peanut allergy

School lunches can be provided for children in primary schools either requiring a medically prescribed diet or who have a nut and/or peanut allergy. Please download the icon information leaflet [282Kb] and icon application form [158Kb]. Parents can also self manage simple dietary requirements for their children by using the interactive menu and carbohydrate menu available at Tayside Contracts.
