Payments in School
At St. Mary's Broughton Gifford Primary School, we use Arbor payments to ensure a fully streamlined payment management system with automated meal choices. A rotating Meal Menu enables you to have changing meal choices that you can book in advance through the Parent Portal and Arbor App.
The Parent Portal and Arbor app is a single point of access for making top ups and checking your balances, without needing to jump into a different system. Benefits include:
- Saving time - no need to update, top up and log in and out of multiple systems. Clubs, lunches, trips, and wraparound care can also be viewed, booked and paid for through the Parent Portal and Arbor App.
- Easy reconciliation - balances are automatically copied between systems in almost real time.
- Multiple payment options - As well as topping up your Arbor account with a debit/credit card, payments can be made using Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Tax Free and Childcare Vouchers
Many pupils receive childcare support vouchers, that parents can use to pay for various childcare services such as wraparound care.
- For parents and carers, the process for signing children up to wraparound care sessions is the same whether using the voucher balance or not: Signing up for a Breakfast or After-School Club on the Parent Portal or Arbor App
