Arbor is our Management Information System which we use in school. Guardians can access their student’s profile to view their personal details and attendance via Arbor Parent Portal and the Arbor App. Guardians will also be able to pay for school meals, as well as sign up for revision guides and school trips.
Below we have listed some useful links in relation to the Parent Portal and Arbor App.
Logging into Arbor Parent Portal for the first time
Downloading the Parent App on your Device
Arbor is available on the web via a computer or tablet, or through the app that can be downloaded on the Google Play Store or iOS App Store on mobile or tablet devices. When accessing Arbor from a computer, we recommend using the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge web browser.
If you have more than one student at George Spencer Academy, you’ll have access to information for all your children, all from the same login.
This system, which can be accessed via the Arbor website or through the Arbor App, will allow you to do the following things:
- Receive and reply to messages from school free of charge
- Change your phone number, address and contact information
- Give consent for photo, data, medical and other permissions for your child
- Access your child’s school reports as they become available
- Consent to trips and visits
- In-app messages – receive messages from school direct to your mobile app
