Payment

School meals cost £3.00 per meal (unless your child is entitled to Free School Meals or Universal Free School Meals). School lunches are payable via your child's Scopay account which can be accessed here: https://www.scopay.com/login

We warmly encourage parents and carers to pay for school meals ahead of time (e.g., a week in advance) to avoid going into dinner debt on your account. If your child's dinner debt exceeds £10.00, our Finance Manager will contact you and ask for payment to be made. If your child's dinner debt is still unpaid after the reminder, you may be asked to provide your child with a packed lunch until the debt is cleared. Please contact Mrs A Richards (Finance Manager) if you require any assistance.
