We are delighted announce that we have recently signed up to Arbor which includes an online payment system for parents.  This means that you will have the facility to make payments for school meals, trips, clubs and activities with your debit or credit card using the Arbor Parent App. 

This payment system will benefit both us as a school and you as a parent. Not only will you be able to pay for items from the comfort of your own home but you will also be able to access your account at any time to see if there is anything you need to pay for.

Arbor enables us to experience a more streamlined, cost-effective and efficient payment system in a secure and safe environment.

From September 2026

• 5 days: £13.00
• 4 days: £10.40
• 3 days: £7.80
• 2 days: £5.20
• 1 day: £2.60

The School Meals Service operates like any other business and payment for meals within schools must be paid in full before any meals are consumed by the child i.e. the first day of school for that week.

Please note that if your child would like to change their meal pattern, dinners to packed lunch or packed lunch to dinners you will need to give the school office at least 7 days written notice.

If you feel that you may be entitled to Free School Meals you can contact the Free School Meals section on 0191 561 1417 or visit their Online Family Portal to complete an application.
