We operate a cashless catering system, students thumb print will be taken upon starting the school. This will be scanned to pay for their food. Alternatively, we can search for your child’s name to remove money from their balance. Funds can be added via ParentPay, our online payment platform. To avoid payment delays, we recommend using the standard card payment method rather than the one-click bank transfer, which can take up to 10 days to process. Follow these steps to top up your child’s balance:

Pupils are welcome to bring a packed lunch from home. We encourage healthy choices, such as fresh fruit, vegetables, and wholegrain foods, to support their learning and wellbeing throughout the day.
Please be aware of allergies of other pupils and be mindful of what your child brings in their packed lunch. Lift Winton is a ‘nut free’ school and we ask our students to not bring nuts in their lunchboxes.
