We’re excited to announce that over the May Half Term break we will be enabling the Payments feature on the Arbor App and Arbor Parent Portal. This upgrade is aimed at reducing the number of different platforms that families need to access, while also providing you with a more efficient way to manage school payments.
Please note that as of 2.30pm on Friday 24th May 2024 you will no longer be able to use ParentPay for school payments. We anticipate that you will be able to access Arbor Pay from Thursday 30th May 2024. Rest assured; we will communicate its availability on the day of launch. From this date, topping up your child’s lunch balance or paying for trips must be done via the Arbor App or Arbor Parent Portal.
Your existing ParentPay balances for your child will be automatically transferred onto Arbor Pay during the May Half Term break.
More information will follow, at this time we kindly ask you to check that you can access the Arbor App or Arbor Parent Portal before the May Half Term break. We recommend using the Arbor App where possible as this allows you to make payments quickly and easily on your phone using Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Below is some guidance on how to access the Arbor App and Arbor Parent Portal,
The Milton Keynes Academy uses Biometric ID (Finger ID) scanning to link students to their payment accounts. Students scan their fingers at the till to deduct monies from their account.
Parent/Carer consent for use of your child’s Biometric information will be requested prior to starting at The Milton Keynes Academy. Below will be a copy of the Biometric Consent.
