As previously shared, the school has moved from using SIMS as our Information Management System to Arbor. This will also eventually replace Parent Pay.
This process has taken us far longer than we antipicated due to ongoing issues with SIMS, slowing the transition.
We have, however, begun the process of setting up access to the Arbor Parent Portal. All primary email addresses linked to your child (when they were initially registered) will have received an invite to signed up to the Arbor Parent Portal.
Currently, only basic information is available on here – such as attendance data and clubs that your child is has been signed up for by the school. We will, however, be adding additional features, such as the ability to booking clubs and meals – and further information about your child in school, such as assessment data.
We will be lettting parents know as these become available – and will be aiming to introduce the key featrures for the new academic year (i.e. September ’26). However, we felt it could be useful to enable access sooner rather than later.
A lot of parents with older siblings will likely be familar with Arbor. For those that are not, a quick introduction on Arbor for Guardians and Parents can be found here: https://support.arbor-education.com/hc/en-us/articles/212097029-A-quick-introduction-to-Arbor-for-guardians-and-parents#h_01HAPC98YPK9K3K74K0CT3M9PH
PLEASE NOTE: There has currently been NO changes to booking processes etc. – and access to the portal has been enabled at this point so that features can be introduced to parents/carers steadily and not all at once.
