The Welsh Government has made a commitment to provide free school meals (UPFSM) to all primary school pupils.
This article will teach you...
How to access and edit the Year groups to enable the UPFSM function for meal selection users.
NOTE
UPFSM is called UIFSM (Universal Infant Free School Meals) throughout the Cypad system. If UPFSM is being rolled out at a different rate to other school, you may be required to change the names of the Year groups in your MIS.
Meal Selection users
The Years page in Payments Admin can be used to enable UPFSM for the Year groups that are entitled to receive a free school meal at lunchtime under the UPFSM program.
- Go to Payments > Admin and click the Years [1] option
- Click a Year group [2] in the table to open the Year Details
- Click the UISFM checkbox [3] then the Save [4] button.
