School Meal Provision

West Lothian Council continues to make available a daily school meal for all P1 to P3 children, and at the same time are providing a daily meal for children from P4 to S6 who are entitled to Free School Meals during the 2019/20 academic year.

The council recognises the financial pressure on households due to the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) therefore, in addition to the availability of school meals,  the council will make an award of £10 per child, per week to support parents or guardians with the purchase of food.
