5CS Science

5CS have enjoyed the start of our Science unit learning about space. It has been wonderful to see them bringing in books from home and sharing facts they have chosen to research independently as well as making models to explore the movement of the Earth and the Moon. Great work 5CS!

Arbor Log in

Can we please ask all parents to ensure they are logged into Arbor either through the Parent Portal (Arbor website) or Parent App (Arbor App).

All messages are now being sent via in-app message through Arbor, so please ensure you have push notifications enabled for the Arbor app so you can see when a new message has been sent.

We have been advised that emails sent via Arbor may go into ‘junk’ so please check regularly to ensure they aren’t missed.

School lunches, payments for trips and clubs, school shop items and OSCAR club payments are all now through Arbor as we no longer use Eduspot. Parents’ Evening bookings will be available to book from 8:00am on Monday 5th October.

If anyone has any difficulty logging on to Arbor or using the app, please contact the school office and we will do our best to help!

School Menus

Please see below the menu options for school lunches:

There will also be ‘theme days’ throughout the year when there will be a special menu on a particular day. We will let you know about these on the weekly school newsletter.

Menus will also be available to view in the Parents’ Area on the school website on the ‘Meal Payment and Menu’ page.

All meals now need to be booked through Arbor. Please see the link on how to book Meal Menu choices on the Parent Portal or Parent App – Arbor Help Centre

If you have still not received login details for Arbor, please email the Admin Team on info@chur-ascen.edlt.org.uk and they will resend log in details for you. Please note that we have found emails sent from Arbor often go into the junk/spam/clutter.

For children in Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6) meals do need to be paid for and the cost is currently £2.65 per meal. Meals are also paid for in Arbor by ‘topping-up’ a meal account. If you have any difficulty with this, please contact the school office.

If you think you may be eligible for Free School Meals, please complete an application form:

School Photographer

The photographer will be in school on Tuesday 15th September to take individual school photographs.

If you would like to have a photograph taken of your child/ren with younger siblings who don’t yet attend school, please come to the school office at 8:15am. Please note, due to time restrictions, there may be limited opportunities for these photographs but we will accommodate wherever possible.

Children in Class 4H – please be at school for 8:30am on Tuesday 15th September, with any siblings who also attend our school, so you can have your photograph taken before going swimming. When you arrive at school, please go to the Key Stage 2 door where Mrs Hudson will let you in and go straight to your classroom with your sibling. You will then be taken down to the hall. Siblings can then remain in the school hall and a member of school staff will ensure they are taken to their classrooms.
