Changes to Online Payments – Our online payment provider for school meals and trips & offers is changing from September. We will no longer be using sQuid, and the new provider will be CRB Cunninghams. We advise that you run the balances down before the end of term, as school meal accounts will start from a ‘fresh’ £0.00 balance in September.

Next Steps:

  1. Use up balance: Please ensure any remaining balance is used up before the end of term. If you are still in credit on your sQuid account at the end of the term, then you will need to request a refund from sQuid directly. Link to the SQuid webpage available here:- Contact :: sQuid (squidcard.com)
  2. Parent account registration: Onboarding information will be provided to parents in the first few days of the school term, to allow you to set up the account and load funds. Please be assured that all pupils will be able to order a meal in the first few days until the account has been activated and these meals can be paid for once you have activated and loaded funds.

You are welcome to bring pre-school siblings should you need to. In the evening, there will be a meeting for the parents, which starts at 6pm. 

Rebecca Matthews- Senior Leadership Team and Transition lead from Bishop Gore will be in Brynmill on the 03.07.23 at 2:30pm to meet parents and answer any questions that you have. Year 5 and 6 parents are welcome.
