Arbor Pay
Balances have been transferred from ParentPay and should now be showing correctly. Any transactions from the start of term will also have been added to your balance.
Here is a useful guide on how to top up your child's lunch money.
Traffic Safety Tips
Please be mindful when arriving at school. It can get very busy directly around the academy in the mornings. We encourage those parents and carers who are bringing their children to the academy by car, to park further away from school and let children walk the rest of the way.
Please remind your child about road safety and encourage them not to stand in the road or gather in large groups at the entrance gates to school. Students should enter the school premises and make their way to their Meet and Greet line-up areas where they can wait safely, ready to line-up at 8.30am.
Academy Principal Mr Glover invites you to a presentation to hear about our plans for the year

Mr Glover is excited to share his vision for the year with parents and carers. We invite you to come in and hear our plans to move from "good" to "GREAT" - as well as showing you some of the building work we have undertaken over the summer.
