Overview

Arbor Education provides a cloud-based Management Information System (MIS) for schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs), uniting attendance, behaviour, assessment and progress tracking, payments, a parent app, and statutory reporting in one platform. It operates by offering a centralized MIS that delivers a trust-wide view for MATs, with subscription pricing based on school size and package, and it extends HR capabilities by integrating with SAMpeople through acquisitions. It differentiates itself through scale as part of the largest cloud-based UK MIS provider following The Key Group acquisition, enabling cross-school data sharing and HR integration. Its goal is to reduce administrative workload for staff and improve student outcomes by providing a data-driven, efficient system for operations, reporting, and HR data.
