We’re bringing Arbor to Welsh schools
Last term, 9 out of 10 schools who switched MIS in England chose Arbor. With over 6,000 schools of all phases, and across nearly every English Local Authority - we’re the UK’s most popular MIS.
Your MIS should free you from busywork - not add to it. Arbor is a modern, cloud-based MIS designed to help you work more collaboratively, reduce admin burden, and make a real impact on student outcomes.
Some of the key areas we’re focusing on to make sure Arbor works for schools in Wales:
Welsh language in the MIS: Use your MIS in the language you’re most comfortable with and communicate with parents in both English and Welsh
Recording ALN information: Comprehensive reporting and management of pupils with ALN needs
Support for all statutory returns: Complete the required Welsh statutory returns in just a few clicks, including Pupil Level Annual School Census, School Workforce Census, Attendance Returns, Post-16 Return
CTF imports and exports: Manage pupils moving between schools with ease
Qualifications in Wales: Coordinate and run your examinations and results in Arbor
Seamless integration with Hwb: Keep your trusted third party tools, and connect them with Arbor
Why choose Arbor?
We already work directly with 40 Local Authorities across England through our market-leading partner programme.
We’ll work with you each step of the way to make sure that Arbor is a success at your schools, and to make sure every LA is fully equipped to provide local, trusted support.

Read our report with HFL Education (Hertfordshire), Hampshire County Council and Amazon Web Services on how they manage digital transformation.
“To migrate 270 Hertfordshire schools, HFL Education and Arbor needed to work in partnership. We established an openness and trust to meet our shared goals under huge pressure.
Our organisational values also align, which meant that when things were challenging we were honest with each other, and collaborated on improving the migration process for each wave of schools.
Working at pace and scale is never easy, but teamwork and strong communication allowed us to migrate each and every school that wanted to make the switch successfully.”

See how Arbor compares to SIMS
Schools work best when all staff have access to a single MIS. Arbor includes the tools all your staff need - whatever their role, and whatever your school phase.
Move from SIMS to Arbor and replace multiple third party systems with one, fully connected MIS.
