Introducing Arbor

We’re pleased to let you know that we’ve recently upgraded our school system to a new platform called Arbor. This system is designed to make it easier for you to stay informed and involved in your child’s school life, while also improving communication between home and school.

With Arbor, you’ll be able to:

  • Pay for school meals and trips
  • Book wraparound care
  • Give consent for activities such as visits and clubs
  • Update the school with reasons for absence or medical information

All of this can be done in one convenient place. The system is simple to use and provides access to important information such as your child’s attendance and progress.

You can access Arbor in two ways:

  • Parent Portal: Works best on Google Chrome (on a computer or laptop)
  • Parent App: Available to download from the App Store or Google Play Store (compatible with Android 5.0 and up; iOS 10.0 and up)

Over the next couple of days, we will be sending out login details so you can get started. These will be emailed to the primary guardians currently listed on our system, using the email address you have provided.

We’re excited about this change and believe it will make things quicker and easier for both parents and school.

Please note, we will continue to use Class Dojo to share photos and updates about the wonderful learning taking place in school.
