Adding money to lunch accounts

At Co-op Academy Manchester, we use a cashless system for school meals. Parents and carers can easily check their child’s lunch balance, see what they are eating, and add money to their account online using the Arbor app. 

Note: To support our families during the start of term, we are allowing lunch accounts to go overdrawn. From next week, please make sure your child’s account is in credit (unless they receive free school meals).
