At George Stephenson High School, we are finally in a position to be able to offer a Cashless Catering Provision from September 2020.

The new provision is intended to improve the lunchtime experience for all our students, incorporating the latest technology and eliminating the need for our students to carry cash throughout the day, whilst being covid-19 secure.

Our new cashless system is designed to work in the same for all students regardless of free school meal entitlement.

Next Steps

• If you are a new parent to the school, or you have yet to activate your Parentmail account, you will receive a Parentmail activation email. Please follow the instructions and activate your account before the 1st September.
• Once parents have a Parentmail account active, you can access Accounts – Dinner Topup. This is the system’s cashless catering section.

If you have any queries regarding food charges or anything related to the food supply please contact Hutchison Catering on georgestephenson@hutchisoncatering.co.uk

If you have any Catering queries with Parentmail please contact the school on catering@gshs.org.uk and a member of our team will get in touch with you.  

Please note that for the time being we are not using the Fusion IOS/Android app for pre orders of food.

Some students may be eligible for free school meals. If you believe that you are entitled to this we advise that you register as soon as possible.

Free School Meals Allowance for 2020-2021 is £2.25. Students in receipt of a FSM allowance will have their daily allocated added to their account. Students can use their allowance at break or at lunch.

You can register by clicking on the link below or you can contact Student Support on 0191 6432288 (option 2).
