Monday 12th May to Friday 16th May - Year 6 SATs take place.  All children must be in school every day and arrive on time.

 

Arbor Parent Portal

Thank you to those of you who have downloaded and logged into the Arbor Parent Portal.  Please see information below if you still need to do this.  It is vital that parents/carers log in to the portal as this is now how we will be sending communications about important messages and reminders to you.  If you require help then please ask staff in Sycamore office or come along to the Parent Cafe on Wednesday mornings.

 

Uniform Reminder

As the warmer weather approaches children may wish to wear shorts or summer dresses.  Shorts should be grey or black and knee length.  Summer dresses should be the checked green and white style.  Please also remember that if children are wearing trainers to school, they must be completely black.  White trainers are not school uniform apart from on PE days. Thank you.

 

 

Have a good weekend.

Best Wishes, Miss Loughlin and all the staff at St Stephen's.
