What’s new in March?

The Arbor School Management suite brings together best-in-class, specialist tools to support operations across your whole school or trust, and streamline the most time-consuming tasks and processes your staff face today. 

Our new Product Roadmap and Arbor HQ space

In March we revealed our brand new Product Roadmap. It lays out the long-term goals we want to achieve when building new features and tools in Arbor, and gives you a clear overview of the challenges we’re trying to solve each term.

Plus, we’ve launched a brand new space in Arbor HQ for all things new releases, our Roadmap, and our termly Roadmap Reveal webinars.

Custom Report Writer improvements

Creating new Custom Reports is now much quicker and more straightforward. Plus, you’ll get better visibility over which reports are actually being used, so you can safely delete the ones you no longer need. Learn more.

New PowerBI dashboard templates

We’ve created a brand new Arbor template to make accessing your MIS data in Power BI even easier. The template includes dashboards for Attendance, Behaviour (Suspensions and Exclusions), Assessments, Staff Context, and Pupil Context. Learn more about the BI Connector and download the template from our Help Centre.

Fines for unauthorised absences

To complement the DfE’s plan to reduce unauthorised absences, we’ve created a new page in the Absences section of Attendance to automatically show all students absent for 5 days in a 10-week rolling period. The new page also shows whether or not a student has been issued a fine, and under which attendance mark. Learn more.

Custom Report Writer pushdown

Say goodbye to manually exporting and importing Custom Reports. You can now share Custom Report templates with your schools straight from the Custom Report Writer in MAT MIS. Plus, select which business roles should have access and/or edit rights. Learn more.
