Newcastle City Council has informed schools that from Monday 7th April 2025, they are increasing the school catering charge to £3 per meal.
Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust recognises this is a significant increase for parents and the Trust knows the importance of a pupil receiving a hot, nutritious school meal.
Consequently, they are doing what they can to limit the impact of this cost and have agreed to limit the price passed onto parents at £2.70 until April 2026.
If you pay for your child to have a school meal please ensure you amend your weekly payment to reflect this increase from 7th April 2025 which will work out at £13.50 per week.
