School Dinners – Cashless system
We are due to have a new school dinner money system installed before June that will enable you to pay for school dinners online or through an app.
We will be sending information packs out a week before the launch with all the information you need to download the app and register your child’s account.
With the new online system, you will be able to keep track of your child’s dinner money to ensure they have sufficient funds available and top-up their account within minutes.
At the start of every week you will need to ensure your child’s account has sufficient funds for school dinners, you will not be able to let the account to go into debt. Any accounts in debt will not be able to order a school dinner and will need to have sandwiches provided. Until our new system is installed, please can you ensure dinner money is sent into school every Monday. Dinners are £2.10 per day.
New whole school topic – We need your input!
This term’s whole schooltopic is ‘How can we make our community happy, healthy & safe?’ Dosbarth Melyn have created a google form to collect some data to use. All answers are anonymous, so please take the time to help us help you.

Online Safety
Many of our children tell us that they use groups chats on various apps and social media platforms. These group chats have been known to cause issues and some children have experienced unkind and bullying behaviour towards them outside of school. The guide below gives useful tips on a number of potential risks such as bullying, inappropriate content and unknown members:
