Arbor

We are excited to make you aware of a change that will be coming after half term for all of our parents and carers of the school.

Following feedback received from parents, we have looked at the different systems that we are using for our communication and have been looking at ways to streamline the process and therefore make it easier for you as parents and carers.

We have already started using Arbor as our main pupil management system, which has been very successful! This new platform is crucial for our processes for attendance, communication, assessment, school trips, clubs, calendar and parents evening as well as providing us with an excellent tool for reporting.

Our new Arbor Parent App is now available for you to download and register. Please follow this useful guide below.

Oaklands Primary Academy will be using Arbor Parent App for the following:

  • Overview of your child’s attendance
  • To report your child’s absence
  • Overview of your child’s personal information including medical and dietary requirement
  • To update the school if any details around your child’s medical and/or dietary requirements have changed
  • To update you contact details or details of any other contacts or persons collecting your child
  • Parents’ Evening bookings (Guardians’ Consultations)
  • To view your child’s class trips information
  • To view your child’s club information
  • To provide a consent for your child’s photograph, local outing, walking home alone, etc.

In the future, we will also be using it for meal registration, payments, assessment results, and more. We will keep you updated!
