School lunches have been part of the school day for children for many years. Falkirk Council is continually developing this tradition to provide a modern day service that is responsive to our customers' needs.
Close partnership working with Forth Valley Health Board and the Scottish Executive in relation to the Hungry for Success Initiative and the recent Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) Scotland Act 2007 has meant we are committed to providing school meals that children can enjoy while balancing the eating trends of today with realistic nutritional levels.
Catering Services (Corporate and Neighbourhood Services) provide school lunches at Denny High, Grangemouth High, Falkirk High and St Mungo's and for pupils in all our Primary Schools. We continue to increase the number of children using the service as the first choice for their lunch.
Parents and Pupils are encouraged to assist in shaping menus and future service provision by:
-
attending focus groups
-
attending School Nutritional Action Groups (SNAGS)
-
using our complaint procedure
-
tasting new lunch products at our tasting tables sessions or parent evenings
-

-

completing on-line surveys
