ARBOR School Information System FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Why did the school move to Arbor?
Arbor is a newer system, built for multi-academy trusts, as opposed to SIMS that was developed for single school usage. Migrating to Arbor will help us better support the running and management of the school.

How do students access Arbor?
Students have to use the Arbor website; there is currently no app for student use. The link to the website is:

https://sunbury-manor-school.uk.arbor.sc/

There is a also link to this on the homepage of the school website.

Students can log in using their Office 365 account, If they do not remember their email password they must contact IT support at the school or let their form tutor know and they will contact IT support on their behalf.
