Canteen and Free School Meals

Canteen

At the Academy we use an automated biometric recognition system which measures a student’s thumbprint from which they can access school based accounts.


This is used for students to access printers, photocopiers and the ‘cashless’ catering system.  You will need to top up your child's account online. If your child is in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM) then the allocated amount is in their account each day. This won't show on your ParentPay account when you login.  You can find out more about ParentPay by clicking on this link.


The value of a free school meal for 2024 - 2025 is £2.53.  To find out if you are eligible to apply for FSM, please refer to the IOW Council website here.

Pupil Premium

If your child is eligible for 'free school meals' and you register them for this, we'll receive extra funding called 'pupil premium'. We use this extra money to improve the educational provision and resources at the school.

At Ryde Academy we receive for every eligible pupil who is registered for free school meals.  This extra money could make a real difference to the quality of education we offer.
