What is Arbor?

Arbor is the system we use to manage all the information relating to your child/children. As a parent or carer, you have access to this system. By logging in to Arbor you can see the following about your child/children:

  • What classes they are taking each day and who their teachers are

  • What homework has been set and submitted.

  • Their attendance statistics.

  • Their behaviour statistics.

You can also update personal details, such as addresses and phone numbers and provide consents for trips, photographs and medical treatment, such as paracetamol use.

When it comes to exam time, you can view exam timetables and then see the results by viewing Tracking Point Reports. If you have more than one child at The Academy, Selsey accounts will be linked so you only need to log in once to see all children.
