We are very proud of the service we provide and always seek to involve our customers in decisions which will improve the service. This is achieved through Academy Council meetings, as well as asking students to complete an annual survey.

Arbor Pay has now been introduced. Parents can check balances and top up pupil accounts from the app. Parents can also monitor what their child is eating.
