Cashless Catering

The Beaconsfield School operates a cashless catering system. A biometric identification system uses fingerprints to uniquely identify each student. Funds can be added to your Parentpay account for students to purchase food and drinks.

This system improves the services we offer to our students and staff. Benefits include;

Students do not have to bring cash to school to pay for food each day
Reduction in queueing times for students
Parents can be assured that money given specifically for lunches cannot be spent outside of school
Parents can, should they wish to, have access to see what their child is purchasing

Please remember that consent is required in order to register for biometrics. For further details please contact finance@beaconsfield.school

Food from home

Students may also bring in their own food which must be eaten in a designated area. Parents are encouraged to adopt the healthy eating guidelines and fizzy drinks should not be included. High energy drinks are not permitted. Glass bottles are not to be brought into school and all litter must be placed in the bins provided or taken home. There are no facilities for students to bring in food to warm up.

Please note we are an allergy aware school and ask that you speak to your son/daughter about the potential severe risk to allergy sufferers and ask them to not bring anything onto site that has nuts in.

Students must remain in school at all break times.
