Every joining student will have a QR code dinner card. An email will be issued to every parent/carer to set up an account on the college’s system Arbor. This will consist of a username and password that you will need to change.

How Arbor Operates

Throughout the day, students visiting the cafés and restaurants will scan their card and charge any food or drink items directly to their funded account. This system is fast, efficient and ensures that high volumes of students can access food and drink items in a short space of time.

Parents will have the ability to add funds online to either a catering purse, which can be used in the college’s cafés and restaurant, or to the trips and offers purse that covers all student offsite outings, concerts, revision books and other items. Trips can be ‘purchased’ online and paid either in full or by instalments, to suit the need of individual families.

The Arbor payment system also allows parents to review spending habits to ensure that a student’s account is managed effectively. Student accounts need to be regularly reviewed and topped up by parents/carers to ensure a smooth transaction when their child is purchasing items from the cafes.
