At Alderbury and West Grimstead Church of England Primary School, we use Arbor as our central communication and management system. Arbor helps us maintain clear, efficient and reliable communication between school and home, ensuring parents and carers stay fully informed and involved in their child’s education.

Staying Connected

Through Arbor, parents and carers receive important updates directly by email, including:

• School newsletters

• Event reminders and trip information

• Class updates

• Urgent notices and announcements

This streamlined approach ensures that key information reaches families quickly and securely.

Keeping Information Up to Date

Arbor also allows parents and carers to update essential details about their child, including:

• Contact information

• Medical conditions and dietary requirements

• Emergency contact details

Having accurate, up-to-date information helps us keep every child safe and well-supported during the school day.

Managing School Meals

Arbor is used to manage school meals, making the process simple and convenient. Parents and carers can:

• View current menus

• Pre-order meals

• Top up their child’s meal balance online

• Monitor spending

This makes it easy to plan ahead and manage dietary preferences.

Easy and Secure Access

Arbor can be accessed securely via the Arbor app or website, allowing families to manage school-related tasks anytime, whether at home or on the go.

By using Arbor, we aim to strengthen the partnership between school and home, giving parents and carers the tools they need to support their child’s learning, wellbeing and success.
