Inverness school vows to dish out free meals to pupils

Inverness High School will hand out lunch to pupils next week.

Many pupils finished school yesterday – for an indefinite period – in a bid to contain the coronavirus.

Children of key workers, as defined by Highland Council will be allowed to go to school.

A spokesman for Inverness High School said: "Inverness High will be open from 11am-2pm next week for food collection.

"This is for children who would normally receive a free school meal within the Inverness High area.

"Staff have volunteered to hand out lunch on arrival.

"This is not a childcare service for key workers, it is for food collection for pupils to receive their free school meals each day."
