WHAT IS ARBOR?
Arbor MIS is a cloud-based management information system used by UK schools to manage key operational and pupil data.
It is used for:
- Pupil data management
- Attendance tracking
- Behaviour recording
- Timetabling and scheduling
- Reporting and statutory returns
Because it is cloud-based and widely used across schools, any issues can directly impact teaching, administration, and reporting processes.
Arbor MIS is a central system — when it experiences issues, schools feel the impact immediately.
