Keeping you informed about your child's life at at school is so important. In school, our management information system is called Arbor, which comes with:

• a Parent Portal, which works on Google Chrome on your computer or laptop
• a Parent App, which you can download from the Google Play or the Apple Store to your phone.

From April 2026, the Parent App or Parent Portal will be your one stop shop for:

• checking and updating your contact details
• seeing your child's attendance in real-time
• receiving in-app notifications (which will replace SMS messages)
• booking parents evenings in the autumn and spring terms
• making payments for school meals, breakfast club, Link after school club, and trips
• buying items from our school schop, including FOSH PTA events
• receiving end-of-year reports.

Please make sure:

1. You have downloaded the Arbor Parent App. See below for how to get started.
2. Cleared any arrears from your School Money account / Eduspot app. From April 2026, any arrears will be transferred to your Arbor account.
