School Meals and Payments
Lunches are provided free of charge for children in Reception to Year Two as well as those families eligible for Free School Meals.
A vegetarian option is always available and the kitchen is usually able to cater for special dietary/medical needs if given advance notice – please contact the school office so we can help you organise this if necessary.
All school lunches should be paid for in advance on IPay. iPayimpact is used for cashless meal payments, trips, clubs, and other items purchased from the school. iPayimpact is a well-established and secure payments system that offers a better experience for you and efficiencies to the school. For help setting up your account please use the following guides here or contact the school office.
