Payments

 

The school prefers not to accept cash or cheques, preferring all payment for School Meals, Pre School Fees, Enrichment activities, Clubs, Trips, Activities and additional resources being paid for via the My Child at School App (MCAS).

My Child at School is part of our Bromcom MIS system, meaning that we can keep all important information relating to your child in one place and easily and accurately track all payments.

Upon joining the school, parents will receive an email with an activation code and login for MCAS, together with a parent guide.

  • Income Support (IS).

  • Income-based Jobseekers Allowance (IBJSA).

  • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (IRESA).

  • The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit.

  • Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.

  • Child Tax Credit (provided you are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income as assessed by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs that does not exceed £16,190).

Universal Infant Free School Meals

 

Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) provides funding for all government funded schools to offer free school meals to pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. The UIFSM is different funding from that of the above benefits-related free school meals. However, it is important that parents who receive one of the qualifying benefits listed above register for benefits-related free school meals as this enables the school to claim pupil premium.
