Paying for School Meals is easy through the app parent pay.

Payment must be paid in advance as Caterlink does not offer any credit facility.

Once you child start's at St Joseph's you will receive an activation code for parent pay. This will enable you to set up your account. Once registered you will be able to pay and choose meals from home, although children will still be able to choose meals in the classroom.

Eligible for Free School Meals?

If you are in receipt of income support or the income based job seekers allowance, your child is entitled to receive a free school meal. The process is very straightforward. Please contact West Berkshire Council on (01635) 42400 who will take you through the procedure or apply online at www.westberks.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals. Please register as the school receives additional resources based on the number of children eligible for free meals.

Special Dietary Requirements

Some children may have specific dietary needs (e.g. for medical or religious reasons). If this is the case, please contact the school office.

Packed Lunches

We have a Healthy School Policy and as such ask that packed lunches reflect this ethos. Therefore, please do not include fizzy or soft sugary drinks (water, milk or pure juices preferred) or sweets/chocolate based snacks in your child's lunch box and think again before including salty snacks. Please also do not include nuts (or Peanut Butter) in your child's lunch box as some school children have nut allergies.

School Milk
Pupils are entitled to free milk up to their fifth birthday. To register please follow the link to the Coolmilk website
