Cashless Cafeteria System Now LIVE
We are delighted to announce the introduction of our new cashless cafeteria system. All parents/carers will receive details about this facility via our gateway app.
Dear Parent/Carer,
We are delighted to announce that we have now installed a new cashless payment system within our canteen facility.
This will mean that pupils will no longer need to bring cash in to upload manually (although this option will still be available).
We believe that the ability for you to upload funds electronically to your child’s account will prove to be very user friendly and will enable you to monitor what your child is buying as well as monitoring how much they are spending/ have left in their account.
The cashless payment system will be accessible through our Gateway app which all parents should already have downloaded to their device by now.
How to register for a School Gateway Account-
- If you haven’t already, you will need to download the School Gateway app via the App Store for Apple devices and Play Store for Android devices.
- On the app welcome page at the bottom of the screen select Sign Up (don’t have an account)
- Enter the email address and mobile number that is registered with the school
(agree to terms and conditions etc by moving toggle across) – select Sign Up
- You will now re-enter your email and phone number and request a pin
- You will then receive a PIN on a text
- Enter the 4-digit PIN number received via text
- Once logged in, the home screen will be displayed.

Uploading money to student account for canteen purchases
- Once you have registered you will view the tab lunch money relating to your child and an arrow to the right
- Balance is available with the option at the bottom to Top up students’balances
- Select- Top up Balance
- Again, you will see Dinner Money 2024/2025 and you select this and begin to enter the amount you wish to add and then select “add to basket”- continue with entering card details.
- Please allow time for your payment to synchronise with the school canteen account and the balance will appear in a short space of time.
If the balance falls below or is at the value of £3.00, parents will be notified with a warning to advise that they need to top up the balance. No further purchases can be made once an account is empty.
