The Scottish Government and local authorities have reached agreement to introduce universal free school lunches for primary 4 and 5 children and targeted support during school holidays for all eligible primary and secondary children and young people. This will deliver free school lunches during term time for P4 children by August 2021 and to P5 children by January 2022. Councils will determine what approach in school holidays meets local needs and circumstances, which may include the provision of direct payments, vouchers or food parcels.
