How Arbor works with helloData
Arbor MIS now integrates with helloData, giving you more choice and flexibility over your assessment analysis.


Simple setup, advanced analysis
The best of both worlds!
When it comes to assessment, it can feel impossible to get exactly what you need out of any system. It has to be quick to set up, but tailored to your school; easy for teachers and governors to understand, but still detailed enough for SLT and Ofsted.
Arbor and helloData have teamed up to make this a reality - so you can see your data in context, make decisions quickly and improve student outcomes.
