As the days draw out and the frost starts to melt, let’s look back at some of the amazing features we released to Arbor MIS and MAT MIS this spring term!
In the spring term our improvements and new releases continued to focus on three key themes:
- Maximise success for schools and trusts
- Further differentiate our secondary school MIS
- Increase MAT central team efficiency
Here’s a summary of some of my favourite releases from the spring term for schools and MAT central teams that you may have missed.

Favourite releases for schools
1. Send comms from Trips
Perfect for sending last-minute updates or reminders to parents. Send your SMS and in-app messages specific to a trip, directly from the Trips module. Learn more here
2. Programmes of study and courses
Now when you withdraw individual students from programmes, you have the option to withdraw them from courses linked to the programme instance. This is a great time saver and removes repetitiveness. Learn more here
3. Enhanced BI Connector
We have launched our enhanced BI Connector, with double the amount of data sets and over 1,000 data fields. New data views include Lesson Attendance, Detentions, Interventions, Student SEN Needs and Clubs. Learn more here
4. Favourites on your homepage

Favourite releases for MAT central teams
1. Parental Engagement in MAT MIS
Track and analyse your schools’ parental engagement levels from one central place. See exactly how many emails, SMS, and in-app messages your schools are sending – and how many are being read by parents. Learn more here
2. Integration with SAMpeople
While Arbor already acts as an HR platform for individual schools, we know that MATs require people software specifically suited to their needs to help them grow and scale effectively. That’s why we’re thrilled to have partnered with SAMpeople so that Arbor MATs can bring a best-of-breed HRIS into their ecosystem. Learn more here
3. Custom Data Warehouse
Centralise your data in Arbor’s Custom Data Warehouse – your trust’s own data warehouse. Load external data into our managed infrastructure to enable reporting from all your sources in one place. Learn more here
4. National Data Connector
Access national data from Ofsted and IDACI via the BI Connector and connect all your MAT data together. Learn more here
