Dear Parents/Carers,

Please note that due to price increases, we will have to adjust our school meal prices accordingly. From Monday 25th January 2021 the prices for school meals will now be £1.90 per day. Please note Nursery will remain £1.50.

Thank you.
Dear Parents, School's catering provider is Dolce and they have a electronic system called SchoolGrid. This system allows parents to select their child's meal, either daily, weekly or termly. Then when the children go up to the kitchen counter, they click on their name and it shows them and the kitchen staff what they are going to eat that day.

You will shortly receive an email inviting you to register and start to choose your child's meals, this is going to make systems more streamlined and efficient. It also has all dietary options for you to use and give parents confidence of what their children are eating. If you have already received an email, please use the links provided.

Academy St James, will be continuing to use Parent Pay for meal payments.
