Principal's Note
It was good to see so many parents and family members at our recent Year 7 ‘Settling-in’ Evening. Thank you to all who attended: we hope you found meeting your child’s Form Tutor beneficial.
If you have questions about the progress or wellbeing of your child in any Year Group, please remember that Ark Boulton staff can be contacted through the Enquiry Form on our website.
