School Lunches

As indicated by Scottish Borders Council, we now use a choice envelope for school meals

Please tick your child’s preferred choice for each day he/she will be staying for a school meal.

PLEASE PRINT YOUR CHILD’S NAME AND CLASS ON THE ENVELOPE TO ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT MEAL IS ORDERED.

Normally these envelopes will go out on a Friday and be returned to school on the Monday. If your child is in p1-3 or is entitled to free meals, the envelope still needs to be completed.

School Lunches cost £1.65

Packed Lunches

Due to the enthusiasm and enterprising efforts of our kitchen staff at Drumlanrig, the Teddy Bear’s Picnic which was held a few weeks ago was a great success. Our lunch numbers increased greatly that day with the option of the picnic lunch, so Scottish Borders Council has decided to pilot a packed lunch option as part of school meals.

The cost of this option is the same as a cooked meal (£1.65). The duration of the pilot is uncertain at the moment but we think it will last at least until Christmas. The coloured 4 week Menu (which you will receive this week) is mass produced for all schools and so doesn’t have the packed lunch option on it. This Pilot is at Drumlanrig School only.

On the lunch envelope you receive from this week (for the week after the October holidays - w/c 19^th October), until the end of the trial period, you will see a 4^th option detailing what is available on the ‘packed lunch’ option. Children can tick this option every day just as they would a normal lunch and follow the same procedures in the dining hall.

If you have any questions about this pilot scheme, please telephone the school office on 01450 373521.
