Management Information Sheet
Information to Schools in Norse Catering Contract
Please Note: The 'Outstanding Dinner Money Report' is no longer required to be sent to County Hall. However, you should continue to check that meal numbers are correct with the cook at the end of each week.
Schools must ensure that all dinner money is collected and banked by the end of each term. This is especially important in the summer term as pupils may be moving to a new school in September, and all credits / debits should be dealt with before the summer holiday.
Catering Expenditure Download From Period 6 (September) pupil and adult meal expenditure (info only at this point) will be downloaded to schools on a monthly basis. These transactions will be downloaded to the following Catering Expenditure Codes:
Pupil Meals (catering contract only) 4287
Adult Meals (catering contract only) 4288
Snacks (catering contract only) 4285
From Version 5.3 of Star Accounts (to be released in the autumn term) the Catering BCR, which is accessed from the 'Monthly Profile (Catering)' button within Star Accounts, will show these transactions. This will enable schools to monitor their position with regards to the catering account throughout the year.
During the financial year-end procedures in March schools will be required to enter debtors/creditors for catering. Further details regarding this process will be released nearer the time.
Any differences between income collected and expenditure will be charged to the schools EB account as part of the Period 13 download. Schools will be notified of this prior to the charge being made.
Please note: Schools that are no longer in the catering contract with Norse should no longer be using the catering codes for banking income and should turn off the catering tab within Star Accounts.
Any monies paid into this account in error has been journalled back to the schools less any outstanding amounts for 10/11. You will see this on your period 6 download.
