Payment is via the cash less ParentMail system. ParentMail allows you to put money on your child’s account and then they can 'buy' a lunch.
If you have an Android or Apple smartphone, we highly recommend that you download the free ParentMail App so that you can receive and respond to school communications, and make easy, online payments on the go. To do this, simply search for “ParentMail” in your APP store.
***FREE SCHOOL MEALS FOR Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children ***
As part of the Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) legislation, the children in Reception and Years 1 and 2 are able to have a free meal daily in term time. All children will be offered a meal – but parents have the choice not to participate by sending their child in with a packed lunch.
FREE SCHOOL MEALS AND PUPIL PREMIUM
For children whose parents are on a low income or on benefits the school strongly encourage you to also register for "Free School Meals" as this is the trigger for the additional Pupil Premium payment to the school from the government. These funds are a very important part of the income the school uses to enhance the children's learning. The process for applying is very simple. A form was sent to all new Reception students with the admissions pack and further copies are available from the Priory Road office, or click here.
