Cashless Catering

Students are issued with a cashless catering card for use in the canteen. Money can be added to the card by paying online via Scopay. The cashless catering system enables parents to set a daily spend limit for their child’s purchases at the canteen and to monitor what their children have bought at the canteen by logging online and viewing their account

Packed Lunches

Children may also bring packed food to school for eating at break times. Drinks should be in cartons or unbreakable containers. For safety reasons, cans and glass bottles are not allowed in school. Water is available from a dispenser in the small dining hall and students are encouraged to bring a plastic bottle to school in order that they may drink water throughout the day as well as at meal times.
