MIS Change from Sims and Weduc to Arbor
We are excited to announce we are switching out data and communication systems from SIMS and Weduc to a single system called Arbor. This will allow us to communicate with you more efficiently and bring all core school data and workflows into one system.
Within the Arbor app you will be able to view/ access the following:
- The student’s address and home phone number if you live with the student.
- Any student details you are the Primary Guardian of.
- Change Student details.
- Assessments, Attendance, Exams, Calendar, Timetable
- Bookings to clubs, trips, and breakfast clubs.
- Payment history, including which parent logged a top up and topping up student accounts.
- In-app messages.
- Parents evening bookings.
Behaviour will continue to be logged in Class Charts, but we will be looking to move this to Arbor at some stage.
Weduc will be switched off on Friday 16th August 2024. Please can you download the app as soon as possible so that you have immediate access to the new system.

Primary Breakfast Club
We offer a breakfast club to all learners from reception to year 6 for the daily charge of £1.50 per day per child.
Children who have had a nutritious meal before school learn better, feel better and behave better. Children learn the importance of a healthy lifestyle through selecting a balanced breakfast and taking part in physical activity. Children can develop play and teamwork through other activities offered. Children also develop a sense of responsibility through taking shared ownership of resources and duties.
Children are also offered a simple breakfast in their classrooms before the day starts.
Implementation
Children are given the opportunity to attend an activity session every morning which includes both robust and quieter social activities with a choice of breakfast food options.
Impact
Most children are choosing more robust physical activities in the hall particularly the keep fit days. Regular attendance has risen over 30% since introducing such activities. Improved school attendance for a number of children as well as improved behaviours from those attending is evident.
You can book onto this through the parent portal app and you need to book and pay 2 days in advance to confirm a place for your child.
