Cashless Catering

Cwmbran High School operates a cashless system within our canteen, so pupils purchase food or drink through their fingerprint.

The cashless system is linked to the Cwmbran High app which enables parents to add money to their child's account quick and easy.

If a student is eligible for Free school meals, their account will be credited with the cost of a meal of the day (currently £2.60) which they will be able to access.
