We use the Arbor, Management Information System (MIS), at Co-op Academy Priesthorpe. This is where we keep all our parent, pupil and staff details and where we can communicate.

Arbor is ready for all parents to log in and set up their accounts. You will be able to see some basic details about your child and there is also a new way to update your details (eg. telephone number etc.) when needed.

Parents have two choices, the Arbor portal which is a web-based portal or you can download the Arbor app which may be better if you are on the go and also want to receive push notifications to your phone. Parents who have parental responsibility have access to their child's account.

To register - Go to https://login.arbor.sc/

Your account is already set up so select Forgotten Your Password and add the email address that you use with the school. You cannot use or set up another email address as the system will not recognise who you are.

Follow the instructions in your email and set up a password so you can log in for the first time. If you require new details, please ask the school office. If you want to use the Arbor App, set up your account on the website (as shown above) then download the app from your phone (eg. Apple, Playstore etc.) and log in with your email and the new password you have set up.

Things you can do on the portal/app

Child's Details:

You can let us know about any changes to your child's or your own personal details. This sends a notification to the office where it is checked before being accepted. We may need to contact you to confirm some changes.

Consent:

We will be using Arbor to check your consent for photos and so you can update your preference on the portal/app. For photos, this gives us consent to post a photo on the school website, in our prospectus, information booklets and our half termly Newsletter.

We also post on our social media accounts: Facebook, Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter. Hope the above and attached guidance is helpful to you.

If you have any difficulties with setting up or using Arbor, please contact the school office. On the students pages, you can see what pupils see on the app.
