We love to celebrate our students’ achievements both in and out of school. Please email us a photo and a brief summary if your child has any extra-curricular achievements you would like featured in the bulletin. Information should be sent to office@uffculmeschool.bep.ac
Arbor Parent Portal - Data Checking
It is essential that the data the school holds about students and their families is correct and up to date, so we'd like to remind all parents and carers to use their Arbor Parent Account to check this data and to let the school know of any updates that are needed. As parents can only see their own contact details, it’s important that everyone with an Arbor Parent Account logs in to check their information.
Please note that if a student has a dietary requirement or allergy on their record, they will be unable to purchase anything from the canteen that contains the restricted foodstuff so please ensure this information is up to date.
If you have any problems or queries with your Arbor Parent Account, Please contact Liz Mitchell at mitchelll@uffculmeschool.bep.ac.

Tutor Parents Meetings – Thursday 19 November 2026 - 2.30-6.30pm
These meetings are an opportunity for parents/carers to meet their child's tutor or another member of the pastoral team who has a key role in supporting them at school. They will be held in person at school on the afternoon/evening of Thursday 19 November and school will therefore finish for all students at 1.15pm on that date.
Full details of arrangements and how to book appointments will be sent home in due course, but please be aware that if your child is usually collected from school by car, they will need to be collected at 1.30pm on 19 November. Our dedicated school buses will run at the earlier time and students who use public services will be able to catch earlier buses.
