We believe in a brighter future of work in schools
At Arbor, we’re giving schools and their staff the tools, time and insight they need to work at their best, and drive real change.
Our mission
To transform the way schools work for the better
From admin and reporting, to recruitment and policy changes – today over 60% of a school’s time is spent on non-teaching tasks. And for many schools, it’s weighing staff down, stretching resources, and getting in the way of teaching and learning.
We passionately believe there’s a better way to work. And we’re building the technology and the team to make it happen.
Our story
Loved and trusted by over 9,000 schools and 850 Multi-Academy Trusts
In 2011, we launched Arbor MIS, helping staff manage their schools with less friction and more impact everyday.
Now, we’re home to a full suite of school management tools that covers everything from finance and timetabling to HR and recruitment.
