Free school meals

ParentPay means that pupils who get free school meals will be anonymous, as they are ordered exactly the same way as paid meals.

Pupils that get free school meals will have their ParentPay account credited each day. The school meal credit balance is not carried over to the next day.

If your primary school child receives free school meals, you still need to book their meals using ParentPay. This helps the kitchen make the right number of meals each day.
