Communicating with parents via 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 iOS 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
• See notifications and events from school as they happen
• Book your child into Breakfast Club or Wraparound Afterschool Club
• Sign up for any afterschool clubs or school trips

Interacting with our Arbor system will also give you the peace of mind that school are holding the correct information for your child, and that you have a direct way of contacting school and knowing what is happening here at Beaminster St Mary's Academy 

Getting Started:

Important - In order for you to log in successfully, we need to have your correct email address on our system. If you use a different email address to the one we have on record, this will be the likely cause of any issues trying to log in.

Getting started for the first time is really easy.  Please follow the steps below:

To login into the Parent Portal for the first time, download the App or visit the Arbor login page.

Click the “First time logging in” option in the bottom left corner and follow the instructions.

Only parents set as Primary Guardians can log into to the app, so please let us know if you have any issues with other parents or carers logging in.

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

Arbor is our whole school information management system. All parents have access to the Arbor Parent Portal which is part of this system.

Parents are sent an email inviting them to sign up. Once they have done so, they can log in and update the contact details which we hold for each child and give consents for clubs and trips as well as view their child's attendance.  We hope to be able to offer the option to pay for trips and clubs in the very near future.  

Please could we ask all parents to review information on a regular basis, especially when you change your mobile phone numbers.
