Local Roadworks

When there are roadworks on the roads toward and near the school, your journey may take longer than usual.  Details of local roadworks can be found here.

Break & Lunch

Students who receive free school meals will automatically have credit in their account for use at lunch. All other students will use our cashless catering service from ParentPay. Students are able to purchase drinks and snacks in the canteen at break time with their cashless accounts. To top-up accounts, our electronic payment system is at www.parentpay.com. If you have any issues logging on to ParentPay, please contact us.

Key Dates

The key dates for all parents/carers to be aware of for the term ahead can be found in our online calendar here.

Attendance

We want to support all students to achieve excellent 100% attendance.  However, if your child is unwell or required to attend an urgent medical appointment, please call the main school switchboard (01424 439888) before 8.30am.

Our App

Ark Alexandra Academy is in the process of creating a system of communication which informs parents/guardians of their child's attendance and behaviour with an app. We expect the app to be ready for use later this year and full instructions will be issued to all parents/guardians on how to access their account.
