Amazing Art!
Year 7 students were set the task of creating a mask from pretty much anything that they had at home – I think you will agree that the standard of work and the level of imagination that has gone into creating these superb pieces of artwork is truly outstanding! Well done Year 7, and congratulations to the art department for fostering such endeavour.
Weekly Report Card
Thank you for your patience since moving to Arbor, as we know that many of your valued the parental portal previously available on Bromcom. Starting next week, we will be sending out weekly report cards to the primary guardians of all students. These reports will be emailed at the end of the school day each Friday and will include your child’s attendance levels for the year to date. Additionally, the report will provide an overview of your child’s behaviour, highlighting any commendations received as well as any point deductions for that week. We hope this regular update helps you stay informed and engaged with your child’s progress and school experience.
School Policies
We have recently updated the Policies section of the school website to ensure all information is current and accessible. Recent updates include the Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy, SEND Information Report, Health and Safety Policy, Attendance Policy, Anti-Bullying Policy, Behaviour Policy, and Remote Learning Policy. We encourage all parents and guardians to review these documents to stay informed about our school’s procedures and commitments to providing a safe, supportive, and effective learning environment for all students.

Year 10 Parents’ Evening Thanks
We would like to extend a special thanks to parents in attendance at the Year 10 Parents’ Evening last night who had to ‘fly solo’ without appointments due to a technical issue that was beyond our control. The evening went without a hitch and was extremely calm and orderly. We had a superb turn out and it was wonderful to hear lots of positive conversations about students’ progress.
