Your Local Authority’s hub for school data
More than just a dashboard, LA MIS gives you the insights and tools you need to carry out your statutory requirements, drive positive change, and improve the attendance and welfare of the children in your area.
Work together as one
Arbor’s School and LA MIS work as a seamless pair of systems to join up people, processes and data across your schools. So you can understand, and support, all your Arbor schools from one central hub.
Benefits
Effortlessly fulfil your statutory responsibilities
View, monitor and analyse real-time attendance and behaviour data across your schools – to complete your statutory responsibilities to your schools. No more relying on outdated spreadsheets or termly census data.
Identify trends and implement change
LA MIS gives you not just the data but interactive dashboards that you can drill down into to analyse your data and make real-time decisions.
Quickly and easily support your Arbor schools
As an Arbor Accredited Partner, LA MIS lets you log in to your schools’ MIS from anywhere to see the data they see and offer quick and personalised help.
Manage your data-sharing agreements online
Balancing the need for data access vs privacy concerns can be tricky. LA MIS gives you the digital record of data sharing approval that you need between you and your schools.
“LA MIS has allowed us to quickly fix any data issues across our schools and better support them with their school and workforce census, as we can easily log in to their MIS from a central location.”
Gary Hipple
Assistant Director of Children Support Services, Wandsworth Local Authority
“I liken Arbor to when I got my last car — you could tell the person who designed it probably wanted to drive it.”
Thierry Brunier
Data Manager, Ralph Thoresby School
“There was relief from staff when [Arbor] was implemented and they could see what they could do. There’s this feeling like the sky’s the limit for us now.”
Lynette Clapham
Headteacher, Rawdon St. Peter’s CoFE Primary School
“I love Arbor because the MIS and team helped us gain the GOOD rating that we so desperately deserved after a tough few years!”
Kate Kinney
Data Systems Analyst, Baxter College
“If you’re looking for an MIS which does everything, there’s no other option really. When we met Arbor, you could just tell this was a different way of doing things.”
Martyn Essery
Headteacher, The Reach Free School
“We’re saving time, we’re joining up our processes. Jobs that I allocated an hour to in our old cloud MIS are taking me minutes in Arbor, we’re no longer held back by our MIS”
David Pendlebury
Assistant Principal, Hinchingbrooke School
“[Now] I even love working with data and assessments – which I hated in the past. I can honestly say Arbor is the best thing that has happened to me at work in a very long time.”
Penny Harrison
School Administrator, The Westbrook Trust
“In terms of what we can do at a trust level having MAT MIS has been game-changing. I couldn’t do my job without it.”
Rob Wall
Data and MIS Lead, Danes Educational Trust
“We love it! There is nothing more to say – it’s great!”
Claire Lindsay
Former Administrator, Kettering Park Infant Academy
“It’s been one big huge win! Since we moved from our old MIS, we have never looked back.”
Damon Murphy
IT Lead, Plantation Primary School
“I’m conscious that I have scored Arbor 10s across the board, but the reality is I couldn’t recommend it enough.”
Nick Doy
Head of Data Quality, Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust
