How to register for Select
Once your child starts at our school the school office will initially register your child on the Select system and you will be provided with a school code and unique child code.
Once you have received these details please go to http://select.aspens-services.com/ to register. After registration you will receive an email to confirm your email address. Please check your spam or junk folder for this.
After registration you will then have access to the Select system to order school meals.
The Select system offers flexibility so that children do not have to have a set meal pattern. Parents and carers can order meals daily or days and weeks in advance.
All school meals must be ordered by 1pm the day before.
If your child is absent please remember to ask for your childs meal to be cancelled when you call to report your child absent, to avoid being charged. Unfortunatley if you do not ask for your childs meal to be cancelled you will still be charged.
If your child has an allergy or dietary requirement please complete the form below and give to the school office so that the catering team are aware. Please also keep us updated on any changes to your childs allergy or dietary requirements.
Please see below for more information about Aspens and the special diets form.
