Good morning all, Jay here, Arbor's School Success Manager. In total we work with 9000+ schools, the majority of whom use our Insight Benchmarking tool. We'll soon be supporting 400 schools with our MIS, and while we've got a bit of a way to go before all 9000+ of our schools are using our MIS, we do support the Isle of Man education system, a number of large Multi-Academy Trusts, and primary and secondary schools of all shapes and sizes across England. I'd be happy to put you in contact with a number of our existing MIS schools. PM for more details.

We do support sixth form. Whether it is the right option for your own institution is a deeper question. The requirements of what a secondary / FE institution want from an MIS can vary hugely from institution to institution. Your best option would be to arrange a demo with one of our Partnership Managers to see it in action for yourself. All of our Partnership Team here at Arbor are former school leaders or teachers, so there's no hard sell. If you take a look and it's not for you then that's no problem! If you want to DM me I can get someone to arrange a demo for you or you can head over to the website and request one.

Hello all, I'm Jay Ashcroft and I'm responsible for School Success here at Arbor. Let me jump straight in: Our focus at Arbor to date has been on state-funded schools and Multi-Academy Trusts. We don't actively focus on the Independent sector I'm afraid. It's disappointing to hear that our customer support has been a downside. We set ourselves very high standards at Arbor and I'd really like to hear more about your experience so far so we can learn and improve. All the best, Jay
