Lunch Menus

Dear Parent,
Please find attached the new lunch menus which will commence immediately  after the Easter break.
Unfortunately, as part of the 2024 Council Budget (Perth and Kinross Council Budget Meeting) it was agreed that for the 1^st time in a number of years there would be an increase in the charge for school meals.  The increase recognises the significant impact of inflation on food and the associated costs involved in the school meal service over the past few years.
This is the 1^st increase in school meal charges across Perth and Kinross Council since 2018.  
With effect from the 1^st April 2024 the cost of a school meal will rise as follows for paying pupils and visitors.

Primary                             £2.25

• Secondary                         £2.60
• Adult (including VAT)     £5.00
• Information in relation to Free School Meals can be found at the following link  - Free school meals and school clothing grants - primary and secondary - Perth & Kinross Council (pkc.gov.uk)
