School Meal Cost Increase

sQuid refunds

We have been made aware by a number of parents that they are experiencing issues when requesting a refund from their child's sQuid account. As previously informed, sQuid ceased to trade on 14th March. The company advised us that they would refund any accounts in credit, however we are now aware that accounts with less than £10 credit will not be refunded and any accounts with more than £10 credit will incur a £10 administration fee. At no point were school informed of this, we only found this out after we sent emails enquiring on parents' behalf. This issue has since made the local news, and while we cannot guarantee that all monies will be repaid, we would advise you to contact sQuid to request a refund in order for your request to be logged on their system should the company’s practices be looked into further.

 

MyChildAtSchool App

Just a reminder to download and register your child on the MyChildAtSchool app. We will be using this app for all on-line payments.
As of 1st May we will no longer be accepting cash payments for dinner money or trips, if you would prefer to pay using PayPoint please contact the office and we will provide you with your child's bar code for you to use when depositing cash. PayPoints are located in numerous local shops, Plumbs and CO-OP are the closest to school, however a full list can be found via this link https://consumer.paypoint.com/cashout.

We will also start to use this app to send text messages and emails during the Summer term. Once you have registered on the app you are able to amend any contact details for your child without the need to contact the office.

If you have any problems accessing your child's account please contact the school office.
