School Systems
Wodensfield uses a number of school systems to strengthen communication with home, as well as systems to support your child's learning at home through interactive and engaging ways. We understand the importance of home and school links, to our relationship driven school and hope the following seeks clarity, as well as serving as a reminder of the purpose of each system. Please refer to the links below for further information. The school office is always happy to help, should you need help or support in accessing or understanding more about any system.
Arbor is an online system that helps us manage school information and communicate more effectively with families. Through the Arbor app, parents and carers can receive important messages, view attendance, pay for items for school i.e., school meals, trips etc. update personal information and book parent's evening appointments via your mobile phone. The app is free to download and access.
Communication will be sent by Arbor via an in-app message or direct email. This includes whole-school and/or class letters regarding events, trips etc. as well as first aid incidents and reminders for events or outstanding consent and payment for events. Therefore, it is vital that parents access the Arbor app.

Our school provides a milk scheme that is available to all of our pupils. School milk is free for under-5s, and for over-5s it is available at a subsidised price of 28p per child per day. Each child that registers with Cool Milk will receive a 189ml portion of semi-skimmed milk every day, delivered fresh and chilled to the classroom. Register online, if you child is over 5 years old and not in receipt of Free School Meals.
We use Purple Mash to support children's learning across a range of subjects. It offers fun, interactive activities to help develop skills in computing, writing, maths and creativity. Class teachers use Purple Mash to set work, give feedback and track progress, to support their learning beyond the classroom.
Sumdog is an online learning platform that helps make maths and spelling practice fun and engaging for children. Through games and challenges, pupils practise key skills that are matched to their individual level, helping to build confidence and improve progress. Teachers can monitor learning and set activities, and children can access Sumdog both in school and at home to support their learning.
We use Times Tables Rock Stars to help your child learn their times tables through practice, aiming to secure their multiplication tables and become times table rock stars. Knowing times tables and associated division facts supports mathematical learning and understanding; it is an expectation that all children recite their times tables by the end of Year 4.
Passwords are sent home at the start of the academic year, and are stuck in your child’s reading diary.
