Catering Arrangements From 5 October
We are pleased with how the catering arrangements under Covid restrictions have worked during September and it is clear that we are ready to provide a more flexible service and choice once more. Therefore, starting on Monday 5 October, there will no longer be a set menu at a set price. Instead, pupils will be able to make their own selections and pay through the cashless catering system for the items they have chosen.
Please check your cashless catering balance on Wisepay and top it up if necessary to ensure that there are sufficient funds for your child to purchase meals. The balance will be displayed at the top of the page when you log in.
All details for using wisepay are on the website here https://www.bishopwordsworths.org.uk/main-school/parent-portal/wisepay-portal/
There is a weekly rota in which each pupil will be able to take a hot meal twice and a cold lunch on the three other days. For Years 7-11, hot meals will be consumed in the Dining Room whereas Years 12 and 13 will collect a hot meal in a foil container and take it to their respective common room. Cold lunches will be collected from specific locations around the School site.

The thumb-print machines used in the past for authorising payment are not in use. Instead, pupils are to give their name to the Catering Staff who will confirm their identity from the photograph held by the School system and charge the account appropriately.
Pupils in receipt of free school meals simply need to present themselves at the till; their entitlement to the free meal will be acknowledged within the catering system and nothing further will be required at the time.
For those new to cashless catering, the facility is accessed through your son’s/daughter’s Insight account; select ‘WisePay Finance Portal’ then select the ‘Food and Drinks Payments’ tab. Any amount of money can be paid into the account (to ‘top it up’) and expenditure on food and drink is deducted at the point of service.
Pupils are of course free to continue to bring their own lunches from home.
