CyPad can be accessed from your ParentPay account. It improves the dinner ordering experience by allowing you and your child to select their school meal. 

All accounts need to be up to date in order to order a meal. This includes children in Reception, Years 1 and 2 who have Universal Free School Meals paid for by the Government, and also any children who are entitled to a Free School Meal.

We are able to add your child’s dietary and allergy needs. This will stop you from ordering any food that may contain traces of any foods they should not have. 

If your child is entitled to Universal Free School Meals or Free School Meals you will still need to follow through the payment screen, however no payment will be taken from your account.

Children on Packed Lunch

 
We are also asking parents whose children usually bring their own packed lunch to sign up too, for those odd occasions that packed lunches are forgotten or you want them to have an ad hoc dinner.
