Reasons to choose school meals
Children and young people need the right balance of food and nutrients to develop
and grow. Healthy Eating is about getting that balance right and all our menus are
nutritionally analysed to meet the Scottish Government Schools (Health & Nutrition)
(Scotland) Act 2007 and promote key messages to improve diet to positively influence
current and future health.
The Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Act 2007 and the Nutritional
Requirements for Food and Drink in Schools (Scotland) Regulations 2008 build on
the achievements of Hungry for Success by establishing standards for all food and
drink in schools.
The focus is on getting the balance right and helping pupils make informed choices.
A wide range of appealing healthy food and drinks are promoted through marketing,
education and active encouragement.
- Free fruit
3 times per week to all children in Primary 1 and Primary 2.
- More fruit and vegetables are available
