Annual School Meal Census

Data presented here is an extract of data taken from the Annual School Meal Census in publicly funded schools in Scotland. The data shows the provision of school meals (including free school meals) for each school in the Glasgow local authority area. The dataset forms part of a time series and is available for the years 2003 through to 2014. Full datasets can be downloaded from [The Scottish Government](http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/Browse/School-Education/SchoolMealsDatasets).

The data is graduated to school level and data includes: the numbers on the school roll; counts of pupils entitled to free school meals; counts of pupils present on the day of the survey, counts of pupils taking a school meal (free or not) on the day of the survey; and counts of pupils taking a free school meal on the day of the survey. In order to protect the identity of pupils a * used in the dataset denotes the number of pupils is 4 or less (zero included) or where such a figure could be worked out. A * * used in the dataset denotes where the difference between the number of pupils on the register and pupils with FME is 4 or less.

Some of the datasets also include information on breakfast clubs, the provision of fresh fruit and water and the anonymity of the free school meal application process.

The School Meal Census is carried out annually. For individual dataset errata or qualifications users should consult the background data or notes of the individual [datasets]( http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/Browse/School-Education/SchoolMealsDatasets).
