What is the School Cashless Catering System all about?
Our school has teamed up with Innovate, our catering partners and sQuid, to introduce a new cashless catering system, an easy way for students to pay.

Students and staff can now use a pre-pay contactless smart card or biometric identification to pay for food and drink at the school canteen. It's convenient, safe and secure, and can be topped-up online so you don't have to bring cash to school.

Different purses are for different functions

For buying lunch or a snack from the school canteen
sQuid is a smart way for you to top-up your cashless catering purse online, so that you can then pay for your lunch or a snack from the school canteen. Top-up by bank transfer, or from a credit or debit card.
