Please click HERE to read updates and information regarding the transition to Arbor Parent Portal.

We have also now shared guidance on how to book Breakfast Club and After School Club which can be found HERE.

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.

We will endeavour to share the Autumn term timetable with you before we break up but it may not be possible until closer to the end of this term. Thank you for your patience while we confirm club availability.

If you require after school care (The Den) but may also wish to book Hordle Hub clubs, we would advise that you book After School Club on the days you require care in September and then you can cancel any sessions not required if you are able to successfully book a Hub Club.

Keyboards for Sale!

We still have a few keyboards available at school for families to purchase for a small donation to the school (we kindly request a donation of £10).

Please be aware that some keyboards do have some stickers and writing on the keys. Whilst they may not be in the best condition, they would be a good starter kit for anyone who has recently started or is potentially thinking about starting taking up the keyboard. 

If you would be interested in purchasing one of our keyboards, please email adminoffice@hordle.hants.sch.uk to arrange a convenient time to collect.

Please note, keyboards will be sold on a first come, first serve basis. 

'Book with Legs' Donations 

We are thrilled to see how popular our 'Book with Legs' initiative has been amongst our families. Due to its 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 3 - 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.
