Perfect for: CEOs, COOs and other Central Team Roles.

Did you know that your schools will no longer be able to complete the census in SIMS 7 from summer 2026?

This means that all remaining schools and trusts on SIMS will need to start using SIMS Next Gen for the census by then, or choose an alternative MIS. So for the first time, there’s no question that schools on SIMS will need to start using a new MIS. And at Arbor, we believe this is a really exciting opportunity to make that switch count.

We know that it's hard to imagine what life with a new MIS might look like in your schools, so in this live demo, you’ll see how Arbor MAT MIS is more than just a dashboard. Arbor MAT MIS gives you the tools and the insight you need to improve the way you run your trust, grow sustainably, and work as one organisation rather than many schools.

See how with Arbor you can:

- Work together as one: Arbor’s School and MAT MIS work together, so data and actions flow both ways. See real time data trust-wide, define processes and policies centrally, and support all your schools from one central hub.

- Centralise processes, policies and records: With flexible options for centralisation, you can give each school the tools they need to work autonomously, but with accountability
.
- Empower your central team: Arbor gives you the data you need and the tools to act on it - all in one place at last. Move work from your schools to your central team - such as checking records are up-to-date, managing school comms centrally, and reporting on and benchmarking data.

- Future-proof your school with exciting tools like Arbor AI, AI to help you save hours of admin time each day

- Understand what’s working and what’s not through Arbor’s powerful data tools including out of the box analytics, live national benchmarking, BI integrations and Custom Data Warehouse

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

Look forward to seeing you there!
