What’s new in May

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. 

Report Library

We’ve created a brand new home for all your Arbor reports – the Report Library. Now you can find any type of report from just one place, and search for your reports by type, date, and more. Plus, build new reports quickly and easily with the Template Library. Learn more.

Auto Absence

Auto Absence saves you at least one hour every morning by giving you a ready-made list of everyone who’s not in school and why. Every voicemail is written up into Arbor for you – all you need to do is review and approve. Learn more.

Communications inbox and outbox

To make it easier to keep on top of and manage your communications, you now have a separate inbox and outbox. See which messages have been read, and filter your comms by date range, message type, or sender to find exactly what you’re looking for. Learn more.

Staff Allowances in the Custom Report Writer

We’ve added a new Staff Allowances report to help school leaders report on employment costs more holistically. This more detailed view of staff allowance payments helps to inform more strategic financial planning. Learn more.

New BI Connector data sets:

  • Physical Interventions – now you can build out a full behaviour reporting suite in your BI tool.
  • Behaviour Incident Actions – allows you to link the Incident to a follow-up action and get an accurate view of what happens after an Incident is reported
  • Suspension Benchmarks – we’ve added three new benchmarks on numbers of students with multiple suspensions to identify students who would most benefit from interventions
  • Suspensions Across Group – Same data as we released recently in MAT MIS, this will be great for tracking students who move around schools a lot for behaviour management
  • Suspensions Summary – Neat set of statistics covering some key metrics summarised by school
  • 31 Attainment Benchmarks for primary schools, including EYFS Benchmarks, KS1 Above and At Expected standard for Maths, Reading and Writing Combined, and KS2 Proportion achieving expected standard in each topic

Updates to the Ofsted Inspections table

Following your feedback that some Ofsted reports were linked to a school’s previous URN (for example, before it was academised), we’ve added two new columns to the Ofsted Inspections table in MAT MIS – URN at Last Inspection and Inspection URN Match. The new fields make it clearer whether an inspection relates to the current or previous URN, so you can interpret Ofsted data with the right context. Learn more.
