Please make sure that there is enough credit in your child's dinner money account BEFORE they order a meal. We are charged a small percentage on every transaction so we appreciate payment for a block of five meals or more, at a time, if possible.  

• If you get certain state benefits your child may still be entitled to Free School Meals. Please apply if you think you may be eligible, even if you choose not to order meals. The school will get extra funding and your child will benefit. Find out more HERE. We can help you to apply - enquire in the school office.
