*** IMPORTANT INFORMATION ***
CHANGES TO HALF-TERMLY DINNER PAYMENT PROCEDURES
Many parents pay for dinner money on a half termly basis which works very well, however, the office administration time for managing this procedure is excessive.
FROM AFTER JUNE HALF TERM THE OFFICE WILL NO LONGER BE SENDING OUT INDIVIDUAL PRE-PAY FORMS TO FAMILIES EVERY HALF TERM; it will be parents’ responsibility to pay the due amount by the deadline.
In future, all parents will be advised of the cost of school dinners for the next half term through the weekly newsletter in the run up to the end of each half term followed by reminders in the newsletters at the start of the new half term.
DINNER MONEY (whether paid weekly or half-termly) should be paid on a MONDAY.
WE REQUIRE ALL HALF-TERMLY PAYMENTS TO BE MADE BY THE
FIRST MONDAY FOLLOWING THE START OF EACH HALF TERM.
Any carry-forward of dinner money credit from the previous half term will be refunded to parents in the first week back of each half term.
You will no longer receive a pre-pay form for dinner money, so please make sure you look out for the notices about dinner money costs in the weekly newsletter, and please make your payment at the beginning of each half term. If you have any queries please do ask at the office.
Below are the details for the next half term:
