Did you know that schools will no longer be able to complete the census in SIMS 7 from summer 2026? This means that schools will need to start using SIMS Next Gen for census, or choose an alternative MIS. So there’s no question that you’ll be using a new MIS this time next year - but now you have an exciting opportunity to make 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 designed especially for primary school leaders, we’ll deep dive into the key parts of Arbor crucial for your role including how with Arbor you can:

- Bring everything together by consolidating multiple messy systems into one, or integrate easily with the apps primary schools love like CPOMS, Hodder and Inventry.
- Reduce the reporting burden with real-time data at your fingertips, produce DfE-compliant reports from templates, or build them custom in an instant
- Drill down to each student and get the insights you need through features you’ll love including student attendance patterns, parental engagement reports and pastoral progress reports
- Use intuitive tools to manage your school through fully integrated modules which include everything from Comms and Payments to Parental Portal and Trip management

Plus, we’ll be joined by a primary school leader who’ll talk through how they use Arbor and the difference it has made to their role.

What happens next?
You should leave this session knowing whether Arbor feels like a good fit for your primary school. We’ll follow up with you after the session and, if you’d like to proceed, we’ll book a call for you with one of our local Partnership Managers to talk through questions you might have about our systems, the migration process, or pricing.

I’ve got a question! No problem - email us at hello@arbor-education.com

We look forward to seeing you there!
