What is Arbor?

Arbor is our central Management Information System that manages and processes all our data about students, parents/carers and staff in The Beckmead Trust

What is the Arbor Parent Portal and App?

The Arbor Parent Portal and Arbor App let parents register their child for a club or trip, book parents evening slots, and manage payments all from their phone or computer. Parents can also check in on their child’s attendance, behaviour and progress.

Please note not all these features have been enabled yet - see the top of this page for the latest features available from The Beckmead Trust.

If you are having difficulty using Arbor, please contact your school. Please do not contact Arbor support directly.
