School Meals
The cost of school meals is currently £10.00 per week (£2.00 per day).
The Academy operates a cashless system and uses ParentPay (www.parentpay.com) for all payments to the Academy.
Parents/carers are requested to sign up to this site via their unique identifier letter issued by the school office.
Our Sponsors have instructed us that debts must not be allowed to accumulate. If we do not receive payments for 2 weeks, children will not be able to continue on school meals.
