Using Arbor & ePraise

Arbor is the school's management information system which is used to communicate with you more efficiently and bring all core school data and workflows into one system.  Through the Parent Portal and the Parent App, you will be able to access information about your child(ren), such as their timetable and their behaviour and attendance record.  You will also be able to top-up your child's catering account and inform the school of any changes to their details.

An account has already been set up for you.  To access your account, you just need to set a password. Your username is the email address that the school already holds for you.  Please follow these steps:

1. Go to https://login.arbor.sc
2. Click Forgot your password?
3. Enter the email address that the school already has for you
4. Open the email sent to you from Arbor
5. Choose a new password
6. Log in to the Parent Portal

Once you have successfully logged in to the Parent Portal website, you can then access the Arbor Parent App.  This can be downloaded from either the Playstore on android phones or the Apple Store on iPhones. 

ePraise is an online rewards system which aims to both motivate students and enable parents/carers to actively engage with various aspects of the children's school life.

Via the ePraise website or, via the ePraise app, students can:

• See the praise points they are rewarded
• Spend the Praise Points on a variety of items from entries to exciting prize draws to food from the school’s catering service and school equipment
• Sign up to enrichment activities

Similarly, parents/carers can also login online and are able to:

• Track the Praise Points their children have been awarded
• Monitor attendance and punctuality
• Sign their children up to enrichment activities

How to login if you are a student:

• Go to the ePraise website
• Click on the 'Student login' button and log in using your school Gmail credentials. If you are already signed into your emails then you'll go straight to the Epraise home screen.

How to login if you are a parent or carer:

• Go to the ePraise website
• Click on the  parents' tab if not already on this tab
• Enter your email in the first field and leave the password field blank
• Click 'login/register'
• Epraise will send you an email that contains a link to create your password (please check your junk mail if the email doesn't come through)
• Enter that password into the password field and you will be able to access your account

The email address which we currently have for you is the email you need. If your email address has changed and is no longer what we have on record for you, you will need to let the school know before you can register successfully.
