Matthew Arlnold School

Parents

We welcome families and friends of the school getting in touch and always advise doing so at an early stage and via the tutor in the first instance. Often any questions can be sorted out very quickly. 
If you wish to report something and don't know who to contact, please do use our 'contact us' on the website or feedback here.
Along with our formal, parent and carer evenings during the year, there are some more informal opportunities to hear about what children are learning, how to support them and to feed into our school development planning. Dates of these meetings are below:
