Arbor Parent Portal and School System
At Barrow 1618 CofE Primary Free School, we use Arbor as our main school management system. Arbor allows us to keep all key information in one place and provides a simple, secure way for parents and carers to stay connected with the school.
What is Arbor?
Arbor is a modern school system used by schools across the country. It enables us to manage pupil information, communication, and school processes efficiently, while also giving parents and carers access to important information through the Arbor Parent Portal and App.
What we use Arbor for
We use Arbor to support a wide range of day-to-day school functions, including:
- Communication between school and home
- Managing pupil records and contact details
- Booking school trips and events
- Booking clubs and wraparound provision
- Managing meal bookings
- Processing payments securely online
- Recording Parental Consent
- Allergy information
- Recording Medical information
By using Arbor, we have been able to reduce the number of different systems in use and bring everything together in one place for families.
Benefits for parents and carers
The Arbor Parent Portal and App allows you to:
Receive messages and updates from school
Book trips, clubs and meals
Make payments online
View and update your contact details
Access key information about your child
This ensures that important information is easy to access and reduces the need for paper forms and separate systems.

We recommend downloading the Arbor App for the best experience.
