2022/23 WGPS School Calendar

WGPS's Arbor App

Every Parent Needs This App!!

REMINDER - WGPS uses the Arbor School Management/Communication System. The systems allows parents/carers to receive emails/letters/in app messages, to make payments for dinners/trips/after school clubs, book parent evening slots and see your child's attendance, behaviour and progress etc. We advise all parents/carers to ensure they have uploaded the Arbor App and log in to their account in order to gain access to all the information school sends out so you never miss out on school events. This is due to us moving away from Text Messages as a method of communication to parents/carers. If you have any problems logging in to your Arbor account please contact the School Office on telephone number 01226 286510 for further assistance.
