At Four Dwellings Primary Academy we offer children a wide range of school meals, catering for all needs.
All children have the opportunity to have a hot school meal. Meals are free for all children in Reception to Year Two under the Universal scheme, regardless of family income. Year Three onward there is a small cost of £2.40 per day which is paid via your Arbor account, unless you are entitled to claim free school meals. If you need help with opening an Arbor account, please ask office staff. To pay for meals please follow the procedure below:
Access the Meals section: On the Arbor dashboard, locate your child's account and select "Meals".
Initiate the top-up: Click the "Top up account" button.
Enter payment details: Input the amount you wish to add to the account and your card details (Visa or Mastercard).
Confirm and pay: Follow the prompts to complete the payment, which may include authentication steps like SMS codes or mobile banking app verification.
Verify the updated balance: Once the payment is processed, you'll see the updated balance in your child's Meals account.
If you believe that your child may be entitled to free school meals, please speak to office staff - more information here, scroll down to see qualifying criteria.
Menus will run on a three week cycle and you will see the dates at the top of each menu.
Look out for our special theme days!
