In line with other East Renfrewshire schools from Tuesday 25 April pupils will not be able to purchase any food or beverages from the canteen if they do not have sufficient funds in their lunch account.
If pupils find that they do not have sufficient funds, and do not have cash to deposit at the pay points, they should contact their parent / carer to deposit money via their ParentPay account. If pupils do not have a mobile phone to contact parent / carer they should come to the school office.
There are currently a high number of pupils who are ‘overdrawn’ and so need to clear this urgently in order to be able to purchase food and drink when required.
If any parent / carer requires their ParentPay account details they can call the school office on 01415772000 or pupils can collect them.
