If children are off poorly?!
basically up untik not long ago my children’s primary school had a system you could just make sure the money was in your account on the day or even take cash and they could have it. They more recently changed to a booking system which I can understand to minimise food waste, you can book up to the night before online or even in the morning if you contact the school. You don’t make. A good choice online, just to say they are having it.
if say you have pre booked a few days and a week in advance and your child gets poorly would you want to be refunded?
on a couple occasions, my children have been sent home before lunch and had the money refunded as they didn’t eat there.
but a few times now my daughter has been poorly, I’ve contacted the school first thing, before 8am. I would be expected to be refunded as my child will not be in?! I’ve even made a point of saying just a heads up they are booked for school lunches. But never had the money back (or even just putting it back into their balance for another day!)
is this the norm? When I’ve asked I’ve never got a response! I know they haven’t got time to check through everything and everyone’s lunch accounts but I’ve spent money on lunches that won’t be eaten 🤦‍♀️
she goes school dinners once or twice a week.
