The above charges are subject to change. School trips will be credited to your account.
All payments should be made using School Gateway app. If you have not registered, please contact the school office for instructions.
As our system is very flexible, you may decide to take your child off school dinners at any time in the session. This is possible by giving two weeks notice in writing to the office. Similarly, by giving two weeks written notice, your child may recommence at any time. If two weeks notice is not received, a two week charge will apply.
In accordance with Trafford Council Best Practise, should dinner money not be paid by the end of the second week- meals may be stopped and parents will be asked to send in a packed lunch. If there are any extenuating circumstances for non-payment please contact the school office as soon as possible.
Please fill in the form below to advise us if you need to make a change to your child's school dinner requirement.
