Catering
St Bede's operates a cashless system for students buying food and drink at school. Students access their canteen accounts via fingerprint recognition at the tills. Accounts can be checked and topped up by parents/carers using their Wisepay account. To access Wisepay, please click on the following LINK, or use the app. For more information about Wisepay, please follow the link to our Finance and Wisepay page, here.
Students can spend up to £5.00 per day on canteen food. Most students opt to use the canteen at break and lunchtime so ensuring students are left with funds for the main meal at lunchtime is the best way forward!
If you would like to increase or decrease the amount your child can spend please contact our Finance Office on 01223 568816 or email finance@stbedes.cambs.sch.uk.
Please note; for peace of mind, alerts are provided should any account balance drop below £10.
