Free School Meal Allowance
A Free School Meal is worth £2.50. For £2.50, a student can get a Meal Deal - this is a dinner with a pudding/water or cake. Alternatively a student can spend the £2.50 on what they would like.
If a student uses their allowance at break time, they will need extra funds in their account for additional spending at lunchtime.
