School Meals and Cashless Catering

Holy Cross uses a biometric system for the purchase of school meals. This is complimented by the online payment system, ParentPay. On your child’s first day at Holy Cross, we complete the setup of the biometric system in order for them to purchase their school meals via scanning their fingerprint.

You can credit your child’s account via ParentPay or pupils may top up their account in school via a machine that accepts cash. You can also set a limit that your child can spend daily on their school meal account.

Alternatively, pupils can bring their own packed lunch to eat in the main dining hall.

If your child is eligible for free school meals, the daily allowance amount is £2.70. If FSM pupils exceed this daily limit, additional funds must be loaded onto their accounts using ParentPay.

If you think your child may be eligible for Free School Meals or the Pupil Premium, please click here to check and apply online.
