Cashless Catering & iPayimpact
At Lutterworth College we operate a cashless environment for the payment of goods & services. iPayimpact is our only method of adding funds to make payments in school.
Funds can be loaded on to students’ identity cards and these cards will then be presented at the tills to pay for e.g. food, drink, library resources and printer credits.

- payments can be made by credit/debit card, Google Pay and Apple Pay
- payment histories are available securely online at anytime
- students won’t have to worry about losing money at school
- Parents can choose to be alerted when their balances are low
- Parents can set up automatic top ups

Free School Meals
For those students in receipt of free school meals, a cash balance of £3.15 will be added to their card each day to be spent in the school restaurants.
Any remaining balance at the end of the day will be rolled over until the end of Friday when it will be cleared and return to zero for the start of the next school week.

iPayimpact Frequently Asked Questions
Totally cashless
Lutterworth College does not accept cash for payment at any of its catering outlets.
You will be aware that a student’s ID card doubles-up as their payment card for food. The main reason for a totally cashless environment are around security of cash on site but also to reduce the queuing time in our food outlets. The use of cards as a means of payment for goods in society is long established and is a life skill that the Trust is happy to support. Our registers do have a ‘card touch’ payment facility much in the way that you would use a contactless debit card.
Students arriving to school without their ID/ payment card will not be able to purchase food from any of the school outlets. They will also not be able to give their name for payment to be subtracted at a later date – this process has caused valuable wasted time and feedback from parents has caused concern about what items were purchased, when and for whom. Catering staff have been given strict instructions that this policy is to be upheld.
