- Payment for school meals
All payments for the canteen should be done using Scopay as we do not have the facility for cash payments. If you require a link code for Scopay please e-mail finance@aldworth.hants.sch.uk
Students use their fingerprint at the tills to speed up the service. We require parental consent for this (further information is given in the biometric information sheet). Permission is provided using the Data collection form on admission to the school, however if consent is not given, we will provide an alternative method of using the till. Fingerprint registration does not affect the payment system at all.
- Free school meals
A free meal allowance of £2.80 is available to students whose parents are in receipt of specific benefits. The allowance can be used on any items from the canteen. Accounts can also be topped up using Scopay. To apply for free meals please use the eligibility checker at https://www.cloudforedu.org.uk/ofsm/hants
