Jedburgh Grammar Campus Parent Council Application

The sub-committee is scheduled to consider a request for financial assistance from the Jedburgh Grammar Campus Parent Council. The Parent Council is seeking £2,400 to install a new vending machine in the school's central atrium. The funds are intended to cover the cost of the vending machine itself, which includes a Nayax card payment solution. The profit generated from the vending machine is earmarked to support various school projects, such as funding for school trips, resources for Christmas celebrations, and staff training for child wellbeing. The application highlights that the vending machine will also be accessible to members of the community using the school facilities, such as those attending the gym. The Parent Council has stated that they will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance and stocking of the machine. The application also details that the machine will be stocked in accordance with the Nutritional Requirements for Food and Drink in Schools (Scotland) Regulations 2020.¹
