Arbor is the MIS computer system we use in school, along with all other Initio Learning Trust schools. This is used to manage the information we hold and process about our children and colleagues.

When your child is registered at Lockyer's Middle School, you will receive a welcome email to enable you to set up an account for our Arbor Parent Portal. If you do not receive this please contact the school office and a new email link will be sent to you. (Please check your junk/spam email and if necessary add us to your safe senders list).

The system enables parents/carers to interact with our school. The aim is that Arbor will provide better communication between home and school with a more streamlined approach to managing communication, bookings, payments, clubs and trips as everything is available on one system.

On your Arbor account, there is an In-App messaging service, school will use this to send short messages to you and you can use this feature for sending messages to school. The messaging feature is only available when you are logged into your Arbor Parent Portal. You can also email the school as usual using our main email address office@lockyersmiddle.org

The Arbor system offers a range of features including being able to view information about your child(ren) and also enables you to send us updates to your personal information, such as changes to your address, telephone numbers or email addresses. Please check the information held and amend/update as required, contact details are particularly important. Also, please add Lockyer's Middle School to your safe senders list on your email account to prevent communications going into your junk/spam folder.
