School Dinners & Other Payments
Online Payments
We are a cash-free school. Many payments can be made online via Arbor.
The systems are quite easy to use. The school office can give you more information on how to set up an account or sit down and do this with you.
Guidance notes for new users of Arbor can be found here.
School Dinners
School Dinners cost £3.05 per day.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to Free School Meals.
As previously announced, from September 2026 all school meals will need to be ordered and paid for through Arbor. If your child is entitled to Free School Meals or Universal Infant Free School Meals (Reception–Year 2), no payment is required, but you still need to order the meal choice. This system makes it simple and secure for families to choose meals in advance and manage payments.
How to order a meal
1. Log in to the Arbor App or website using your parent account.
2. Select your child’s profile and click on the three lines (which is the main menu).
3. Go to Meals and choose the date.
4. Pick from the menu options available for that day.
5. Confirm your booking.
There will be an option available for you to select a home packed lunch. We would be grateful if you can select this option on days that you will be providing your child with lunch as this will reduce the amount of time spent checking that any children without a meal ordered have a packed lunch with them. You can order meals each day, or further in advance (e.g. for the whole week, or the whole term) - whichever works best for your family, but a meal selection is required by 8:55am on the day of the meal to ensure your child will receive what has been ordered. If a meal has not been ordered by 8:55am, you will need to provide a packed lunch for your child. If you miss the deadline and a meal is required the school will provide the Tomato Pasta option only.

Trips including swimming lessons in Year 4
The majority of school trips are subsidised by the school. Parents are asked to make a contribution towards the cost, so that we can continue to offer enriching learning experiences outside of school. For children eligible for Pupil Premium, we request a reduced contribution. Payments for most trips can be done online via School Gateway.
Residential visits
Year 5 and Year 6 children are given the opportunity to participate in two outdoor pursuits residential visits. Year 5 spend two nights away from home and Year 6 four nights away from home to enjoy a variety of adventurous and new activities. These trips are also a chance for the children to develop their independence before secondary school. We give plenty of notice for this trip and provide the ability to spread the cost of payment over time.
Clubs
Some of our extra-curricular clubs are run by external providers and charges often apply. If your child is in receipt of Pupil Premium and wishes to take part in any of the clubs on offer, please contact the school office as we can offer a limited number of spaces free of charge.
PSA events and charity events
Our PSA is instrumental in raising funds for enriching school activities and events. Throughout the year, the PSA hold fundraising events and sales (refreshments, uniform etc.) There may be a small charge for entry to events and their payment processes are also online.
Sometimes school may ask for a small charitable donation, for example for Children in Need. These are always voluntary.
