Arbor

Arbor Parent App and Parent Portal 

Arbor is a highly secure system available via an app that can be downloaded on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store on mobile or tablet devices. It can also be accessed via a secure website on any computer or tablet. 

This system will allow you to do things such as:  

  • See and update you own personal and contact information
  • See and update your child’s details, including medical information
  • Receive and send direct messages to school free of charge
  • Give consent and permissions for your child 
  • See your child’s attendance data in real time

We will continue developing the app and portal over the coming months – we are still developing our knowledge of it, but please approach the office if you have any questions. 

Arbor also has lots of help available online, and there are a number of useful guides, which are linked below:

Parent View

Share your views through Parent View

Parents and carers can give their views of our school at any time of the school year and at the time of a school inspection using an online questionnaire called Parent View.

When our school is notified of its next Ofsted inspection, parents will be invited to give their views about the school to inspectors using the Parent View online facility as this has replaced Ofsted’s paper questionnaire.

If you have changed your e-mail address or mobile phone number then please make sure we have your most up-to-date contact details.

Please register with an email address and a password at http://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk.

Once your login has been activated, it only takes a few minutes to complete answers to 12 short questions about aspects such as bullying, the quality of teaching, level of homework and whether you would recommend the school to other parents.

Your views are important in helping inspectors make a decision about our school, and to help us know what is going well and what could be improved.

Please remember, you can give your opinion of our school through Parent View at any time during the school year.

At the time of an inspection, you can refresh or resubmit your views and the facility will overwrite your previous response so that only one ‘view’ for each parent, per school, is held.

If you do not have a computer or an email address or if you would like help to use Parent View, please come into school and ask at reception.
