School Lunches
In January 2015 a new Government incentive was rolled out across Primary Schools in Scotland which entitles all P1-P3 Pupils to Free School Meals.
Menus for these will be supplied to Pupils, usually twice yearly, and are worked on a 3-4 week rotational pattern. Orders for lunch are taken from pupils during registration so that figures can be given to our dining hall staff helping to ensure that all pupils receive their preferred option each day. – Sample Lunch Menu.MPS
Arrangements for P1 lunches will be subject to the current Covid restrictions in August.
‘Park Smart’ Campaign
Midlothian Council Travel Team work with all schools in the authority to ensure the safety of Pupils, Parents/Carers, Staff and Visitors around our schools and encourage walking/cycling to school whenever possible. We do then ask that you “Please Park Smart Around Our School” when this is not an option.
Library Information
Newbattle Public Library lies within the Newbattle High School Community Campus and is used regularly by the schools and nurseries within our community. Our classes visit the library where they are given the opportunity to borrow a book to take home and enjoy with their family.
The library hosts many fun events throughout the year for all ages and these are publicised via local media, posters and fliers……….please look out for these!
