The school uses Arbor to help us manage our school. Arbor is a simple, smart and cloud-based MIS (Management Information System), which helps us work faster, smarter and more collaboratively as a school. The Arbor App and Parent Portal helps us to keep you informed about your child’s life at school in a much more accessible way. Log into Arbor to see and update your child’s information, get live updates, pay for clubs/trips, view your child's attendance record, give consent, purchase items from the school shop.
The Parent Portal works on Google Chrome (computer or laptop) and you can download the Arbor App from the App Store or Google Play Store on most devices.
Please look out for an invite to register with Arbor and register as soon as possible!
Our Enrolment form is now online and we ask parents to complete these as quickly as possible so that we can enter your data onto our school system. Please be aware that we do not share your data with anyone else, with the exception of the Police, Harrow Council education department, the Department for Education, (DfE), or Social Services if asked.
Our Information pack will be handed out to all year 2's during the parent meeting on Thursday 11th June at 2pm. This will include your new teacher, class name and house colour. If you have not received any correspondence from the Junior School then please contact the school office as soon as possible.

Currently the school is issuing supermarket vouchers to parents of eligible children during school breaks but this is subject to change, so pleases ensure that you apply if you think you many be entitled to Free School Meals :)

Kenmore Park Junior School Forms:
There will be a Year 3 Transition meeting on Thursday 11th June at 2:00 p.m. in the Junior School hall. This meeting will give you the opportunity to meet the class teacher who will have your child’s class next year, as well as receive your information pack and meet other key staff throughout the school. We hope this will be a helpful chance for you to ask questions, share any important information and begin to get to know the team who will be supporting your child.
After the meeting, you will be invited to Arbor (our school information system) and to fill out the enrolment forms for your child online so that we are all ready to go in September. Completing these forms is an important step in making sure we have the correct information in place before the new school year begins.
You will also have the opportunity to purchase school uniform through the Arbor app, which can then be collected during certain times of the day. We know that having uniform ready in advance can help make the start of term feel much more settled, and we will provide guidance on how to order items during the meeting.
Nourish Catering provides all meals to the Junior School. Please click on the menu image to see our current school meal menu.
