About us At Arbor, we're on a mission to transform the way schools work for the better. We believe in a future of work in schools where being challenged doesn't mean being burnt out and overworked. Where data guides progress without overwhelming staff. And where everyone working in a school is reminded why they got into education every day. Our MIS and school management tools are already making a difference in over 12,500 schools and trusts.

We want to make schools more joyful places to work, as well as learn.
