School Dinner Money
All dinner money must be paid through Arbor, as the school operates a cashless system. Parents and carers can log in via the Arbor app or website, where they can top up their child’s meal account quickly and safely using a debit or credit card. This ensures funds are available for school meals and provides an easy way to track balances and payment history. If you need assistance setting up or accessing Arbor, please contact the school office for support.
We will not be able to issue a school dinner to any child where there is a debt of more than £20.00. In such cases parents will be expected to provide their child with a packed lunch.
Year 2 pupils – from September 2025 any pupils moving up to year 3 will not be entitled to the Universal free school meals therefore any meals taken will have to be paid for.
If you are already eligible for free school meals due to income this will be in place for September. If your circumstances change you may be eligible to apply for free school meals. More information is available on the school website under Universal/Free school meals.
Year 6 dinner money – please check with school office before making any payments in advance as any overpayments at the end of the academic year cannot be refunded.
