The income threshold has changed and more people are eligible for free school
meals. Could that include your child?
For Primary Schools:
Our price for a Primary school child’s meal is £2.10 per meal. We hope you will agree that this represents good value for money when you
consider the high quality ingredients and the improved nutritional value of our
meals.
How to pay: (If your child goes to Warden House, Nonington School or St Joseph's in
Aylesham, please go to our ParentPay page.)
Send your payment to school with your child.
You can pay in cash or by cheque (minimum payment by cheque, £10). And now you can pay online, too! Click here.
Always place your payment in an envelope marked on the outside with your child's
full name, class, and the amount.
If paying by cheque, please make it payable to "Whole School Meals Ltd". Please write on the back
of the cheque - your child’s name, in full; your child’s Class; and also the address of the bank account holder. If paying for more than one child, please use one cheque and state how much
money relates to each child.
Your child does not have to have 5 meals a week, however we do need to know at
the start of the week how many meals your child will take that week and on
which days that will be. Please make your payment for them on the Monday.
Please always pay on a Monday for all meals you intend your child to take during
that week.
If your pre-payment is due to 'run out' in the middle of a week, please remember to top it up on the Monday beforehand, rather than bringing in
payment on another day.
Except in the case of children who are entitled to Free School Meals, we will
not be able to serve a meal to your child unless you have sent us payment for
the meal.
You pay for meals eaten:
If your child misses lunch for a good reason (such as illness), s/he will not be
charged for that day. Our practice is to charge only for meals eaten.
For Secondary Schools:
Our price:
Our price for a Secondary school child’s set meal is £2.20 per meal. We hope you will agree that this represents good value for money when you
consider the high quality ingredients and the improved nutritional value of our
meals.
Our Secondary schools operate a ‘cash cafeteria’ approach - which means that, in addition to the day’s set meals, the pupil may select from various items which will be available. These items will be individually priced.
How to pay:
Pay for the meal (or for the cafeteria items) in cash at the till, on the day. There is no requirement to make payments in advance.
Free School Meals
Children are entitled to free school meals if their parents receive certain
state benefits, including Child Tax Credit. Kent County Council website tells
you what you need to know about claiming free school meals. Read more on KCC website.
If you think your child or children may be eligible for Free School Meals,
please request a form from your school office. Alternatively, you can call the
Local Area Office for KCC schools on Telephone Number: 01622 696705 (9am -
4pm). More information at Kent County Council's website.
