Cafeteria
Parents and carers can manage their account by setting up email alerts on Parent Pay to know when the account is running low and needs topping up. A daily spend limit can be set up by contacting our Finance team at Hele’s. The price of a school meal from September 2024 is £2.75.
There is no overdraft facility on Parent Pay. Please be assured that no one will ever be denied food or drink if they have no credit left on their account, but unless we are informed in advance of any extenuating circumstances, if there is no credit on an account then it is the pastoral team who will sign off the meal and then contact parents/carers to alert them and arrange top up payment.
