Meals are provided by Scholarest, the catering company which serves all of the Falkirk Schools Project schools. Pupils use their Young Scot Card to pay for their meals - no cash changes hand in the meals area. Pupils who are entitled to free school meals have their card charged automatically each day. All pupils can put money on to their cards either by putting coins in the machines located in the Assembly Hall or by handing in notes or cheques to the school office. Paying by cheque ensures that money cannot be lost or stolen and guarantees that money is actually spent on school meals. Young Scot cards are issued to all pupils and can also be used to obtain discounts in local shops - for more information visit the Young Scot website

Free School Meals

Some of our pupils who are entitled to free school meals are not using their daily allowance.  Each pupil has a ‘Hub’ Card and £1.55p is credited to the card at 11.45 a.m. on a daily basis.  Pupils can then take a meal to the value of £1.55p or they can also put additional money on the card if they require extra.  The use of the ‘Hub’ Card means that there is no ‘stigma’ attached to receiving a free school meal as other pupils will not be aware of the circumstances.  If your child is entitled to a free school meal, please encourage them to use it.

Using the Hub : If you want to have lunch in the hub then you must remember your card. You will only be served if you have your card and you can only buy one meal a day with your card.

If you have lunch in the hub you should :

  1. use your own card to buy your own food
  2. wait in line - even if you have pre-ordered a baguette
  3. not jump the queue
  4. not take food outside the Hub at lunchtime or at break
  5. clear your table after your lunch and put your rubbish in the bins provided
  6. report any problems with your card to the school office

If you follow the above points then the Hub will be an enjoyable place to have lunch.
