Our favourite School MIS releases
Settlement summary report
We’re working on making payment reconciliation a less manual and time-consuming process. Our new ‘Settlement Summary’ report lets you group payments by Description, Accounting Code, or Customer Account Type so you can easily reconcile weekly payouts according to your school’s needs. Learn more.
Arbor Student App
Give your students a convenient and intuitive way to access day-to-day school information, understand their progress, and receive in-app messages. The app makes communicating with students straightforward and simple, without the need for another third party system. Learn more.
Integration with helloData
We’re excited to partner with helloData to give you even more ways to visualise and analyse your assessment data! With our new integration, schools can set up their assessments and enter marks in Arbor, then use helloData’s interactive reports to analyse performance and identify your school improvement priorities quickly. Learn more.
Easily find past mail merges
We’ve made it quicker and easier to find your sent mail merges for email, SMS, in-apps and letters. Choose between ‘exact word’ match or ‘include any words’, or apply a date range to narrow down your communication search results. Learn more.
New BI Connector Datasets
Throughout autumn we’ve added lots of new datasets to our BI Connector – over 30 in total! Analyse even more of your school data, including Payments, Point Awards, Houses, Gifts and Talents and much more. We’ve added the English Deprivation Indices Dataset to our National Data Connector, so you no longer need to download and import the data in manually. A full list of BI Connector datasets is on our Help Centre.
