Induction Evening

INDUCTION EVENING ~ THURSDAY 18TH JUNE 2026

Starting school is a big moment in the lives of children and parents - we hope to make our induction evening as informative as possible.

Due to the nature of the evening and the hall capacity, could we respectfully request that children do not attend, unless of course this is unavoidable.

Please refer to the letter below with regards to Birth Certificates...

School to home communication...

In school we use a Management Information System called Arbor. Adopting Arbor has allowed us to communicate with Parents/Carers more efficiently and bring all core school data and workflows into one system. The App will also be used to order your child's school meals - we will provide you with details on how to do this. Details of our caterers, Cupcakes Catering, can be found below.

Communicating with parents is an important part of what we do; making sure you get the correct information about activities, events and things that really matter is something we care about.

PLEASE NOTE: We will be sending a separate communication to inform you when you are able to create your account on the App, however you may wish to take a look to familiarise yourself. Please click below...
