Q: Can I have a “Smart” card to pay for my food in school?
A: If you want a “Smart” card then you should be offered one on your first day. If you do not get a card then see the dinner ladies before school or at lunch and ask for one. The first one you get is free and then they charge £2 for future ones if you break/damage it. When you want to top it up then bring in a cheque and ask for them to put it on your card.
