Dear Parents/ Carers

I have had a few enquiries from parents of P1-3 pupils asking if their child requires an online account if they do not pay for their lunch. I contacted the online payments office and they have said yes you should still go ahead and create an account. They said:

“Parents should set up their account, because although P1-3 get free school meals, parents will be able to see what the children have had for lunch. They can also add funds for snacks or breakfast club (if you have one). Also, when they are set up they will be able to use their account for school payments and it is one account if they have children in the upper school too.”

Hope this clarifies the position.
