Changes to Catering Payments in Schools from 31st August 2025

Dear Parent / Guardian

We hope this message finds you well.

We are writing to inform you about an important change regarding our school’s catering services. This change is being implemented to streamline payment processes, reduce risks associated with cash and enhance the security and efficiency of our systems.

Effective from 31st August 2025, all catering cash payment machines in school will be removed. Students will no longer be able to pay for their meals by cash in school and we will become a cashless site. Moving forward, all payments for school meals will need to be made through the ParentPay system, which allows for secure, cashless transactions and provides a convenient way for parents/carers to manage their child’s meal payments online.


Key points to note:

  • Date of Change: 31st August 2025
  • New Payment Method: ParentPay (no cash payments will be accepted)
  • Benefits: Enhanced security, reduced cash risk, convenience and efficiency

We understand that this change may require some adjustment and we are here to support you through this transition. If you have not yet registered for ParentPay, please do so at your earliest convenience. Instructions for registration and use of ParentPay can be found on our school website or by contacting the school office.

For any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via email to the Central Administration Team – [email protected] We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to improve our services for the benefit of our students.

Thank you for your continued support.
Best regards,
Chris Ray
Head of School
