At Manston Primary, we believe that strong home–school communication is key part of every child’s success. We work hard to keep parents and carers informed, involved and supported throughout their child’s journey with us.
We use a variety of methods to ensure you receive timely and relevant information:
Arbor App – for messages, permissions, pupil reports, bookings and school updates
Newsletters – regular updates on school events and celebrations
School Website – key information, policies, curriculum and calendar dates
Phone & Email – for individual queries, urgent updates or conversations
Face-to-Face – including Parents’ Evenings and informal chats at the start/end of day
📱 Don’t forget to activate your Arbor account to ensure you don’t miss key information. Contact the office if you need your activation email re-sent.
We’re streamlining how we collect information and permissions by moving many forms online through Arbor. This makes things quicker, easier and more secure for families.
If you need support completing a digital form or using the Arbor app, the office team is always happy to help.
We know that open, respectful and honest communication is vital. Whether it’s sharing good news, discussing a concern, or simply checking in, we are here to listen and respond.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the school office or speak to a member of staff on the playground. We’re all in this together.
