Arbor App & Portal

When your child joins school, we will add their details on to Arbor and ask you to download the Arbor App for your phone or log on to the parent portal on your PC, laptop or tablet. Once you you have accessed Arbor, you will be able to view and amend some of your child's school record, see their current attendance, find any communications from school, make payments, book meals, book and pay for clubs and book your slot for parents evenings. We can send you in-app messages as well as school emails, letters or SMS straight from our Arbor system.
