School Meals

Carr Head’s school dinners are all cooked fresh, on site, by the school’s catering team. We provide healthy and tasty meals for everyone. If your child has a dietary need, please contact the school office.

School dinners cost £2.30 per day (£11.50 per week) and are payable by using ParentPay.

ParentPay is a secure online payment system. The school office will provide the details you need to set up an account. We ask that meals are paid for promptly.
