School Dinners
We are a cashless school. This means that all payments must be made online via instant bank transfer, credit or debit card. We will no longer be able to accept cash payments for dinners, trips/residentials or afterschool clubs.
To enable you to pay online, we are pleased to advise you that we have introduced a new service called Arbor. You will be able to make online payments via the Arbor smartphone app or website. You will also be able to view school meals and school trip/residential balances and top them up at any time.
We will notify you by text or email when new items are available for payment on Arbor. You will also be able to give online consent, where required, for your child to take part in activities.
Aside from saving the school time and money on administration, Arbor will also make it easier for parents to pay any time 24-7 and reduce the amount of cash being handled by children, parents and staff on the school premises.
What you need to do now:
Make sure the school has your up-to-date email address and mobile number. We will update your child’s details and then you can activate your Arbor account. It is quick and easy to do.
To complete your account setup, you will need to set a password. Simply click https://login.arbor.sc/ select ‘Forgotten password?’ and follow the on-screen instructions.
Please note that this process must be done via a browser, as password reset links do not work in the Arbor app.
Please make sure you have logged into your Arbor accounts so you can start receiving communications from school and to be able to make payments .
If you are having trouble logging in, it may be because school doesn’t have your correct email and/or mobile phone number recorded, and so we were unable to activate your account. If your details change, please contact the office so they can update your child’s records. Once we have your mobile number and email address it will take 24 hours before Arbor will be ready for you to login.
Payment for school meals must be received in advance and is currently £12.50 per week.
We hope you will find Arbor to be a fast and easy way to pay. However, if you do have any queries or require any help at all, please do not hesitate to contact the school office where staff will be happy to help.
