Arbor Pay
This secure platform allows you to make payments to the school online, supporting our ongoing effort to reduce the use of cash and cheques.
Through Arbor Pay, you can make payments for:
· School meals (via the Bistro/Cafeteria account)
· Clubs and activities
· School trips
· Music lessons (where applicable)
· School shop purchases, such as revision guides and equipment
In addition, you can view your child’s account balances, top up their meal account, and track all payments made.
