Parents received a letter from the school about school meals
A mum has threatened to remove her eight-year-old son from his school over fears pupils could be “left to starve” at lunchtime. A parent told the ECHO how she received an email from St Matthew’s Catholic Primary School in Walton last week warning parents if their ParentPay balance isn’t paid their child will not receive any school meals. ParentPay is the system the primary school uses for parents to pay for their child’s school meals.
'We have just paid out for uniforms too, then to be told to clear the balance on ParentPay so our kids can eat is just disgusting. We were also told they are needing a new PE kit from September, parents can’t afford it. School meals are reassurance for some parents to know your child is getting at least one meal a day. People are struggling.
