At Arbor, we believe that teacher workload is worsened by outdated technology in schools. Legacy IT systems and processes can make it hard for teams to work together seamlessly. Data is spread out across multiple systems and spreadsheets (or even on paper), instead of all being in one place. This leads to high workload and unnecessary stress, with roles becoming isolated, and staff singing from different hymn sheets.
Our philosophy is that an MIS should be built to be used and loved by all staff – from office staff, to teachers and senior leaders. We want schools to have one shared workspace, with all systems integrating seamlessly together. That way, your MIS can do the heavy lifting when it comes to the administrative side of school life. And school staff can have the time to focus on what matters most, rather than trying to wrangle with clunky technology.
Hear from five Arbor primary schools
That’s why we’re excited to share our brand new ebook for primary schools. We sat down with nine different primary school members of staff, who tell us about the specific ways that having all their systems under one roof, in Arbor, has helped to reduce workload and change the way they work for the better.
You’ll read how Arbor has helped one primary school get rid of multiple systems, how one office team has used it to measure and improve communication with parents, how it’s made reporting and the census a breeze at another, and how one senior leadership team can now do much more with their data. Plus, Vaughan Primary School share how they save £20,000 a year using Arbor! Each of these stories is intended to shine a light on why schools work better when they have access to a shared workspace with everything they need, all in one place.
