About this app

Say goodbye to paper slips and emails. Arbor lets you book parent/guardian consultation slots, register your child for a club or trip, and manage payments all from one place. You can also use it to check in on your child’s attendance, behaviour & academic progress.

Arbor is only for parents at schools using Arbor Management Information System (MIS). If you’re not sure whether this applies to you, we recommend contacting your school office.

Use Arbor to:
- Take a look at your child’s key attendance information, including their average attendance for the year so far
- Edit contact details for your child such as your home address or phone number
- Register your child for an after-school club
- Register your child for an upcoming school trip
- Take a look at your child's behaviour information, including positive & negative behaviour points awarded this year
- Manage your child’s payment accounts and pay for meals or trips directly
- Track your child's academic progress, including the targets they’re working towards this year
- Download report cards
- Book slots at parent/guardian consultations
- See your child’s timetable
- Add new medical information about your child
- Check upcoming homework assignments

Ratings and reviews

App is ok-ish when it works, if a little hard to navigate. I don't know how to switch between students, and because the help page just has a partial screenshot of the student switcher, I can't tell whether I just can't find where that is in the app or it's not there because my second child hasn't been added to my account. And I can't ask or give feedback because they actively tell parents to go away and talk to the school. And they make you change your password literally every time you log in.

Handling of passwords for children across different schools is shockingly bad to the point it is just unusable. App itself is not very well designed and difficult to navigate.

ARBOR enforces password changes every 180 days - a terrible practice. Frequent changes lead to weaker passwords and is now discouraged. UPDATE: Arbor still has done nothing perhaps because they have been bought out by an asset stripping private equity firm
