Our Menu and Prices (September 2023)
How to Pay
All payment for meals at Bishop Perowne is “cashless” which means that we do not take money over the canteen counter. Parents/carers should make payments to the College through ParentPay. This is a system that allows money to be put straight into a child’s account by either payment on-line using a credit or debit card, or at any shop that offers PayPoint. In this way any money that is in a child’s account can only be spent on food from our kitchen. This gives the parents/carers certainly that their child is receiving a well-cooked nutritionally balanced meal.
When buying food at the counter, students generally use the biometric identification system at the till and the kitchen staff will charge the student’s account with the food bought. This allows the student will learn to budget the use of the cash that has been put into his/her account.
Some of our students receive free school meals. Their allowance is put into their account each day at noon for them to spend at lunchtime. All that can be seen on the tills is that their account is in funds. This anonymity allows them to be treated the same way as everyone else.
