Parent Portal/App

Cottingham High School is a cashless school. We no longer accept cash or cheques as payment. Parents make payments through the Arbor app. 

Arbor is our school MIS system which includes an online payment system that we use to let parents make secure online payments by credit and debit card.  As a parent / carer you are able to use the Arbor Parent Portal/App to credit your child’s cashless catering account to enable them to pay in school for food. You can also pay online for resources including revision books, activities, trips, music lessons and any specialist clubs that have a charge.

Parents also have access to a free App for Apple and Android smartphones which let you

• see all messages and alerts from the school e.g. school closure and attendance queries
• make payments
• update your child's and your details e.g. address, contact details 

What is the Parent Portal?
