  • Arbor Parent App & Parent Portal

We will soon be launching the new Arbor Parent App and Parent Portal, which will become our main system for communication between school and home, replacing the Greenhouse app.

The Arbor system will allow parents and carers to:

  • Receive school messages and updates
  • Check attendance information
  • Book parent consultation appointments (from Autumn 1 2026)
  • Make payments for trips and clubs (from Autumn 2 2026)

The rollout will take place in phases:

  • Year 1 and Year 5 families will receive welcome emails on 2nd June 2026
  • EYFS and Years 2, 3, 4 and 6 families will receive welcome emails on 22nd June 2026

Drop-in support sessions will also be available to help families activate and use the app.

Families will shortly receive a Data Capture Form to check and update contact information before launch.

Further guidance and support will be shared in the coming weeks.

Please take a moment to view this year’s School Priorities. These have been shaped by feedback from our whole school community — including parents.
