Using Arbor

At the end of June 2022 we will cease to use SIMS as our pupil record system. From early July, all pupil data will be stored in Arbor. The migration process begins with the bulk transfer of all data currently held in SIMS and will continue a number of months as we move some of our related processes to Arbor. You will be advised as we make progress with the migration and how each step will affect your daily processes. The first step will be to take daily attendance registers.

Login to Arbor

We will provide you with username and password for login to Arbor once the migration is complete.

If you would like to try out Arbor, you can access a demonstration system using the following details.

My Homepage

Lesson Dashboard and Taking Attendance

The lesson dashboard is used as a gateway to taking registers, in addition to providing other key information related to the class. Please note that the video below uses a secondary school class as an example, however the process for taking your AM and PM registers is similar.
