At Nunnery Wood we use cashless catering.
This means that no cash is accepted at the tills for food and drink at lunchtime and break time.
The system incorporates latest technology and eliminates the need for pupils to carry cash throughout the day. It is a biometric system that uses an algorithm of a child’s thumb to recognise them at the tills.
Parents/Guardians must return their Biometric Consent Form and their child then has their Biometric identification taken ready for the start of Year 7.
There are 2 ways to add credit to your child's account:

There are 2 ways to add credit to your child's account:
When your child starts at Nunnery Wood High School all parents/guardians receive Usernames and Passwords to access this online payment system (www.parentpay.com). You can pay by Credit or Debit Card and the account is credited in ‘real time’.
Your child will be able to use the Revaluation Units located outside the Canteen in School. By entering their ’thumb biometric’ and inserting the accepted tender listed below into the machine their account will be topped up. £20, £10, £5 notes, £2, £1, 50p, 20p, 10p 5p coins. (Please note - copper coins are not accepted)
Our preferred methods of payment are either by ParentPay or PayPoint as this will ensure that their lunch money is being spent on lunch. You can chose to request a limit on the amount spent per day through the Finance Office in School.
Any child in receipt of Free School Meals will automatically have a credit of £2.30 to spend throughout the school day. If you wish you can still top up your child's account using one of the top up methods.
