For their own benefit pupils in Years 7 and 8 are required during the lunch hour :
- to go home (or to an adult relative) for lunch or
- to take lunch at school (cash-cafeteria system) or
- to bring their own food to eat at school.
The Personal Tutor must be informed if a child wishes to change his or her lunch time arrangements.
At the beginning of the year, in September, the parents/guardians of new pupils who wish to have their lunch off the school premises will be given an opportunity to confirm the arrangement. More senior pupils are given greater flexibility. Throughout the school, pupils leaving the premises at lunch-time become the responsibility of parents/guardians until the end of the lunch period. At school a team of supervisors are on duty during the lunch period.
The school has introduced a swipe card system for use in the school’s canteens at morning break and lunchtime. Parents / Guardians can pay by cheque (made payable to Gwynedd County Council) or pupils can credit their cards with cash using machines in school. There will be a £2 replacement fee for any card lost.
