A ten pence increase in the price of school meals in Orkney will come into effect in April.
From the start of the next school term, Monday 16 April, a two course school meal will cost £2.30 for primary pupils and £2.40 for secondary pupils. The current prices are £2.20 and £2.30 respectively.
This is in line with a Council decision, taken when setting the budget for 2018 to 2019, that existing fees and charges for most Council services should increase by at least 4% from April 2018.
