Here at Bardfield Academy, we use Arbor, an online payment service which allows you to pay for school items on your smartphone, tablet or computer, via app. This makes the payment process easier than ever before.
You can use Arbor to pay for:
- School Meals
- Playtime tuck – *NEW – see note below
- Breakfast Club
- After School Clubs
- Holiday Clubs
- School trips
- Some Uniform
- Parents Meal
- Swimming
- Nursery Donation
- Paid Nursery Sessions
*Payment of tuck money through Arbor – tuck can be purchased in blocks of 20 (£5) by Thursday of each week. The credit will then be loaded onto a card and given to the children the following Monday to be able to redeem daily against single tuck items, until the credit is gone (around 4 weeks if used daily). Please note: money must be paid in advance the week before being able to use.
We will inform you about items you need to pay through Arbor, and you will then be able to pay electronically, with money transferred directly into the school’s bank account.
It’s all very easy, safe and secure as Arbor doesn’t store credit or debit card details and works in the same way as other large retailers who accept online payments.
Initially, you will need to hand your email address in to the school office, to enable them to add your details to Arbor.
All parents need to do is register with Arbor and then login in through a web browser or download the Arbor App.

If you have any questions, please pop into the office and we will be happy to help you.
