Parents are notified in advance of days where their child may require specific items ie their PE or swimming kit. 

It is important that we know who is collecting your child, therefore we ask that you always let us know if it is someone different as we cannot let children go with people who are strangers to us unless we have your permission.

We offer 'Wake Me Up' Breakfast Club and 'Stars' After School Club, which needs to be booked and paid for in advance using the Arbor Parent Portal or app. For more information

We aim to offer a variety of after-school activities each term. Parents/carers will need to provide electronic consent for each activity in advance. Please see our extra-curricular page for a sample of the range of activities on offer. Please note, our clubs timetable changes on a termly basis.
