Payments System - Edulink One
If your child is entitled to free school meals, as long as this has been arranged, a daily allowance will be available for them to use at break and/or lunch time.
For payments from parents/carers this is done through the 'Edulink' app, which we use for a variety of communication, information & payment purposes.
Edulink can be downloaded by visiting the Apple or Google app store's & searching for 'Edulink One', or by visiting the website: www.edulinkone.com
Upon enrolling at the academy parents will be emailed a link with instructions & their login details, however, if you are a parent who has not received this, has missed the email, or requires assistance with Edulink please email: edulinkone@eastwood.southend.sch.uk & a member of our team will be able to assist you.
If you have any comments about the catering, please refer these to Mrs T. Eve - teve@eastwood.southend.sch.uk
