Moving to Arbor from ScholarPack
One team, one MIS
ScholarPack and Arbor have been working together as one team for the past four years. We’ve used that time to build a deeper understanding of what primary schools are looking for in an MIS, both by speaking with 100s of customers, and by training our teams to work across both MIS systems.
Because we can see that primary schools increasingly prefer Arbor, and because it offers features we know many ScholarPack schools want, we’ve decided to discontinue ScholarPack in February 2026. Over the next 12 months, you can switch to Arbor at no extra cost, before ScholarPack is discontinued.

"Our staff really liked ScholarPack, but with Arbor I can get information for myself. We’re all about saving workload. For example, with attendance data... I can easily analyse it by demographic, by school or by specific groups of children."
Sarah Winter, Director of Operations at Asset Education Trust
"It helps you spot areas of concern instantly, especially with assessments & behaviour. You can dig deeper into your data without too much effort - it's there at your fingertips!"
Julie Smith, PA to the Headteacher at Parkroyal Community School
"When we looked at what we currently bought into, there was almost £19,000 worth of additional subscriptions and costs that we could effectively eliminate by moving to Arbor"
Kirsten Beaven. School Business Manager at Vaughan Primary School
"We used to have a system for our parents’ evenings, parents app, payments for things like uniform sales, another app for dinner money, clubs and trips. That’s all on Arbor now.
Our information is in one place and it saves us money as well! Parents like it too - Arbor is very parent-friendly, we've had really good feedback."
