Allergy Information.
Parents are asked to complete a form on induction which details any food allergies or intolerances. This information is shared with Palmer and Howells and recorded against the students details.
The service operated by Palmer and Howells is a cashless system. Parents use ParentPay to top up student accounts. In order to purchase food students are expected to have sufficient funds to be able to pay for their food and a £5 limit is set each day.
The cashless system is operated either with a biometric scan or by code.
Parents are asked to provide biometric consent as part of the induction process. Where a parent does not wish for biometric information to be held, a code will be given to the student.
