  Fri 24 Apr 2020

  A Reminder that Free School Meals provision changes from Monday

   

  From Monday, 27^thApril, families with children eligible for Free School Meals will be able to buy food using funds deposited directly into their bank account, whilst schools are closed due to COVID-19. This will provide parents with more flexibility on where they can shop.

  Cardiff Council  has developed the new arrangement which will deliver payments using Parent Pay, an online payment system now used by all schools in Cardiff.

  For families not able to access Parent Pay, the voucher scheme currently being used will continue to be offered.
