4. Here you will see the total balance, money spent each day and have the ability to top-up the account if needed*.
5. By clicking the green Top Up Account button you will be given the option to either use Apple/Google Pay or enter a debit/credit card.
*Where you have multiple students at the school, you will be given the option to choose which student's account you are topping up.
Pupils are welcome to bring a packed lunch from home. We encourage healthy choices, such as fresh fruit, vegetables, and wholegrain foods, to support their learning and wellbeing throughout the day.
If your child has any dietary requirements or allergies, please inform the school so we can make suitable arrangements. Please be aware of allergies of other pupils and follow and guidance you get from school about what food can be brought in from home.
