Online Payment Information

At Mountain Ash Comprehensive School we use a biometric payment system for our canteens, which supports our parents and carers to manage cost and also to check that your child has enough money on their account. Adding money to your child’s dinner money account online is easy. Please follow the instructions below.

Please be advised that neither the school nor the Council will hold any personal payment details once you have made your payment. After you have transferred the funds they will automatically be credited to your child’s school meal account as if you had paid by cash or cheque.

How does the system support you and your child/children?

  • No more looking for change to give your child
  • Ensures that the money is spent on school meals as intended
  • Reduces the risk associated with your child carrying cash to school
  • Enables the school to work more efficiently thereby improving the ability to focus on delivery of education

Those pupils entitled to Free School Meals (FSM) will automatically have their account credited with the daily meal allowance.

If you are having difficulty finding the relevant section of the RCT website then after using the link above, click on the ‘All Payment Types’ button and type ‘Mountain Ash’ into the search box, as shown in the screenshot.
