In case you haven’t heard the news, SIMS has recently shared that from June 2026, schools won’t be able to complete the census in SIMS7 - you’ll need to use SIMS Next Gen, or choose an alternative MIS. So for the first time ever, it's not about whether you’ll need to use a new MIS this time next year - it's about making that change count

We know that it's hard to imagine what life with a new MIS might look like, so in this live demo, you’ll see all the core areas of Arbor MIS and how it compares to SIMS - but more than that, we’ll show you how Arbor can give you and your staff a better working life. Plus, learn how we use our experience of migrating over 6,500 primary schools to Arbor to make your switch clear and straight forward.

See how Arbor can:
- Save your staff time by doing repetitive work for you
- Improve the way you use data to plan and make decisions
- Equip all your staff (Office Managers, Business Managers, Teachers, Headteachers and SLT) with the tools they need - in one, shared system
- Simplify parent/guardian comms
- Take on bulk tasks via Arbor AI, our new AI assistant

You’ll leave with everything you need to decide whether Arbor is right for your school, and a clear plan for your next steps.

Look forward to seeing you there!

This demo is designed for: Headteachers, Deputy Headteachers, Business Managers and Admin Staff at Primary Schools.
