School meals are constantly changing and children can benefit from the experience of eating with others, developing a taste for different foods and gaining confidence to make the right food choices.

Special Diets

The School Meal Service provides school meals to pupils within the Dumfries & Galloway region.  This provision includes special dietary requirements that have been medically prescribed or are for ethical religious or cultural reasons.

To allow the service to cater for special dietary requirements, Dumfries & Galloway Council's Catering Section will work in partnership, sharing joint responsibility for this procedure between pupil, parent/carer and the school, to provide a nutritionally balanced meal that meets the dietary requirements of the pupil.  In the first instance please contact the school direct for a Special Diet Registration form.

Pre-order

All primary schools have introduced an advance pre-order system for lunch. Pre-ordering works well as the pupils get the lunch of their choice from the Take 4 All menu.
