The Arbor Portal means you can see your timetable, attendance and behaviour statistics. You will also be able to see your homework if a teacher has set it on Arbor (homework is known as assignments in Arbor). For some assignments, you will be able to upload and submit your work using the portal.
How to get started:
Read these instructions fully, then click the link below.
2. Click First time logging in? or Forgot your password?
3. Enter your own school email address and click Set Password or Request password reset
4. Log into your school email and follow the instructions in the email from Arbor.
You will need to use the Arbor portal on the web browser (such as Google Chrome or MS Edge) for first time users and password resets. There is also now an App for students, please use your usual student login details..
January 2025 Arbor Update
New Student Arbor App available for download
We are excited to announce that Arbor has launched a student App to make communication between school and students easier. This is in addition to the Parent App that was available last year.
Once downloaded students can log into the app using their usual Arbor login details. Students can search for the ‘Arbor Student App’ on their iOS and Android device.
If their device allows, they can tap the Remember me button to allow biometric login (fingerprint or face ID) for easier future access.

On the Student App your child will be able to…
- View their calendar/timetable (Tap on the classes for more information)
- See upcoming and completed homework/assignments
- Check their attendance
- Track their behaviour points
We hope that new addition to Arbor will make communication easier for all – if students have any issues accessing Arbor please speak to the Form Tutor in the first instance.
