Breckland School are constantly reviewing and improving communication between the school and home. Below is an overview of the current systems available and the purpose of each one.

Arbor

It is a requirement for all schools to communicate with families on the first day of a child’s absence to establish the reason for the absence. We have an automated system to contact you if your child is marked absent during morning registration (this will not be activated if we have received a phone call from you by 8.40am). Not only does this enable us to establish the reason for the absence, but it will also alert you if your child has not arrived at school. Once the automated service is activated, you will receive a text message from (number TBC). Please reply to the text message.
From September 2023 Arbor will be used for all school messages. Messages will come directly from our school management information system (Arbor) and uses the contact information provided to the school by families.

Go 4 Schools

Go 4 Schools is a student information system which can be used to look at your child’s academic progress and attainment, home learning, behaviour and attendance. Please ensure you can access this portal. Further guidance on how to access Go 4 Schools can be found here or in your child’s learning diary.

Facebook and school website

Both this website and our Facebook page provide information about the school.

To ensure these systems are able to function effectively please ensure that the office has your up-to-date contact details (i.e. landline number, mobile phone number, email address, postal address).

If you have any queries about our communication systems please contact Mrs Ashley, Head’s PA & Office Manager
