Free school meals are to be extended to all primary pupils. The expansion of this has been delayed so at the moment, Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils will still pay for a lunch via ParentPay. The new updated lunch menu will start on Monday 26th August.

The price of a school meal is as follows:

Pupils in Primary 1- Primary 5 will continue to receive a free lunch.

Primary 6 and 7 will be charged £2.17.

Milk is charged at 30p.

If your child is in Primary 6 & 7 they may be entitled to a Free School Meal.

The menu from Monday 26th August is Primary Menu 2024-25 and will start again at Week 1.

ELC:

ELC (Nursery) meals are free of charge and will also change to the new menu on Monday 26th August and start again at Week 1. The menu is Nursery (ELC) Lunch Menu 2024-25

If your child is unable to attend school for any reason you should let us know by 9:30am, calling 01555 662806 and choosing Option 1. Again, please keep us informed of any changes to your contact details. A text will be sent out if a child is absent from school to the main contact if the school does not know the reason for the absence. When the parent/carer receives the text, they should contact the school by phone. If no phone call is received, the school will send a letter to the parent/ carer asking them to get in touch. In certain circumstances, the school may seek advice from other agencies.

As soon as your child's absence drops below 90%, they will be placed on the school's Attendance Monitoring System and you will be contacted directly through a letter/phone call from Mrs Crook.

Please note that these procedures are part of South Lanarkshire Council’s Policy for Managing Pupil Absence.

Welcome back to all staff, parents and pupils as we begin our new session here at Lanark Primary School and Early Learning and Childcare. The children have already returned full of enthusiasm and are already following our routines very well- we are so proud of them all!

A special warm welcome to our new ELC and P1 learners who are starting with us and to all pupils who have joined us throughout classes P2-7.

Now of course, it is only natural that some children may be a little anxious and require some help when settling into life at school and the ELC. Please contact us if you have any concerns about your child at this time or if there is anything we can do to help.

There will be opportunities for parents/carers to visit the school over the school year but In the meantime, you can find the general tour here:
