They have a finger print recognition system in place. I preload his account and can set a daily expenditure limit (which I assume I can change when necessary.)

He's not a big eater- I'm thinking £4 a day? What do you think?

I asked in the canteen at the open day last week as our school has a preload system too (although uses a card rather than finger prints!) They told me that you can buy a main and pudding or main and drink for £2.00 so she thought that £2.50 / £3.00 would be more than enough.

At our school a full meal (2 course) is £2.20 and that will also buy a sandwich, filled pannini or a salad as well. So i would say that £4 was excessive. But the school should be able to give you the current prices (it may well be on their website) and that is the better guide to how much to give your son

have you taken a look at what meals are on offer?
from what i can gather that is the usual sum mooted but i'm unsure whether this is taking drinks etc into consideration
hopefully somebody in the know will come along and advise us!
