School Lunches September 2020
We will not be using any cash payment, including the reval machine we previously used by the main hall, All payments will need to be made by ParentPay. Letters with login details have been posted to new year 7 parents. For existing students who have not used the electronic system before, letters will be provided to them in the first week to bring home. For the initial period while parents are setting up ParentPay, food and drinks can still be purchased, and the payment will taken when money is loaded into ParentPay.
There will be a reduced menu (see link below), which will be as a “grab and go”. For break times students will be brought down in their year group bubbles to the dining hall to get any food or drinks and then will be in the Quad area.
At lunch times, students will be brought down in year group bubbles to dining hall and quad area for first 20 minutes. The second 20 minutes of lunch will be on the hard standing area behind the sports hall.
If there is bad weather students will be in the sports hall and main hall, in year group bubbles.
