An email was sent last week with the below information.
We wanted to share a couple of reminders and options regarding your ParentPay account for breakfast/lunch payments.
If your child purchases meals at Co-op Academy Walkden, please ensure funds are topped up via ParentPay in advance of the week ahead. ParentPay has the function to set yourself an alert for when funds are getting low, if you would like this reminder please follow the process below
- - Log into your ParentPay Account
- - Click the three lines at the top left of the screen
- - Communications
- - Alert settings
- - Balance alerts
- - Set threshold per student
- - Tick email (email is free to use / text messages can be set up, however there is a charge for this)
- - Save
All students are offered a free bagel with spread during breakfast service, which runs between 8am - 8.25am.
Other breakfast items are also available to purchase during this time as well as during morning break at 10.30am.
Breakfast items range from 29p - 99p per item.
At lunchtime, students can purchase a meal deal which consists of a main meal and a dessert for £2.20
Please see our menus here
We encourage students to bring a refillable bottle as there are water fountains positioned in each zone of the academy. If your child would prefer bottled water, these can be purchased for 85p.
We believe that £5 is the most any student should need to spend on food/drinks throughout the day, which is why all students' daily spend is capped and will not let them spend more than £5 a day at school. If you would like this cap to be increased, then please let us know via this link Any changes can take up to three days to show on the catering system.
If your child is entitled to free school meals, they can have a free bagel at breakfast like all other students and then, when they put their PIN number in at the till for lunch, they can order a main meal and dessert (meal deal).
ParentPay log in details are sent via email to one parent/carer for each child at the beginning of each school year. If you have forgotten your password, you can select 'forgotten password'. If you believe you do not have an account set up for your child or if you have any queries about ParentPay and lunch payments, then please let us know via the same form here.
All students require their catering PIN number at the till when getting breakfast and lunch. If your child is entitled to Free School Meals, they still need to use their PIN number to get the meal.
