We now have a new catering provider for the school.  Olive Dining has a proven track record of excellence and already provides great food and great service at other schools in the Community Schools Trust.  Olive Dining will provide a more varied and flexible offer for our students and we are confident that parents, students and staff will be very pleased with the changes. 

Along with the introduction of a new catering company, we have also implemented a new biometric payment system for our students from September 2020.  

The biometric system is much more sophisticated and has ensured parents are only charged for what is eaten by their child.  For example, the school Meal Deal is £2.70 and break time snacks/food cost between 80p and £1.80. 

This system has improved the services we are able to offer students and staff significantly, with benefits including:

• Reduction in queuing times
• Reduction in administration time and costs
• The ability to purchase individual items rather than only a set meal
• Effective linkage to the ParentMail accounts parents already have set up 
• Specific food allergy ingredients can be barred automatically
• Healthy eating is encouraged
• Automatic free meal allocation with the students remaining anonymous
• Parents are charged ONLY for the food that students eat each day

The school uses the ParentMail system for the payment of school meals.  All parents are set up with an account with ParentMail and this allows for a cashless and safe system for purchasing lunches and other items.  There is a link to the ParentMail system on the Quick Links menu in the header of the website.  If you need any assistance with your ParentMail account please email info@watersidecst.org
