At Castleford Park Junior Academy, we use Arbor to make it easy for parents and carers to stay connected with academy life. Arbor is a secure online system that allows you to view key information, receive updates, and make payments for meals, trips, clubs, and other activities, all in one place.

With Arbor, you can:

• View and top up your child’s meal account
• Pay securely for trips and other school activities
• Receive important messages and updates from school
• Check attendance and key information about your child

Accessing Arbor

You can use Arbor in two convenient ways:

1. The Parent Portal (best on a computer or tablet)
The Parent Portal allows you to view more detailed information about your child, such as attendance, reports, and payment history.

2. The Arbor App (best on a smartphone)
The App offers a quick and simple way to receive updates, pay for meals or trips, and see key information on the go. Once you’ve logged in for the first time via the Parent Portal, you can download the Arbor App from your app store and sign in using the same details.
