We will continue to communicate further details regarding the upcoming changes and advise you of any outstanding balances on current Scopay accounts.

***

Arbor Parent App

If you have not already registered for access to the Arbor Parent App it is essential that you are able to access this from September. Please email the school office if you require assistance with this. 

***

Updating Parent/Emergency Contact Details

We also recommend using this as a time to ensure all contact details are correct on your child's Arbor profile. It is essential that we have up to date contact details for parents/guardians and any emergency contacts listed on your child’s pupil file. This is our safeguarding duty.

If you change contact details or move house please update your details via the Arbor App. We require proof of address for any change of address records. 

Please note, if you have more than one child attending Hordle Primary School and Nursery, any changesd made to one profile will not automatically apply to any siblings and so you will need to ensure you update both profiles accordingly.

Thank you for your support in ensuring our records are kept up to date.  

***

Medical, Dietary and Other Important Updates

For any further updates needed for children's profiles, e.g. medical or dietary, please email adminoffice@hordle.hants.sch.uk who will be more than happy to help.

Thank you for your consideration of this in the coming weeks as we head towards the end of the school year.

'Book with Legs' Donations 

We are thrilled to see how popular our 'Book with Legs' initiative has been amongst our families. Due to it's high demand, our shelves are currently looking rather empty. 

We kindly ask for any further donations families may have of any pre-loved books for Year R - Year 6 children. 

If your child has recently borrowed from 'Book with Legs' and has now finished their book, we kindly ask that these are returned to school for the next person to enjoy.  

Green Fingered Volunteers Needed!

Do we have any green fingered parents/grandparents who would like to volunteer their time to help spruce our flower beds and help with some weeding?

On this occasion, volunteer clearance (including DBS) is not required but is preferred if possible.

If you are able to help, please either send us an email to adminoffice@hordle.hants.sch.uk or come in to the school reception to discuss.
