Thank you (Monday 8 January 2018 – Friday 16 February 2018 incl)

Please ensure that payment for school meals is made on the first day the child requires a meal, as we
do not wish to upset children by repeatedly asking them for payment. The option to

requested details from the office who will give you a registration code which will enable you to make
payments online.

May we remind parents that 48 hours written notice or, Friday for Monday, is required if children
wish to change from school meals to sandwiches or vice versa. You will be charged for meals
booked where no written notice has been given.
