Arbor’s management information system (MIS) is already used in more than 4,300 schools, with over 400 trusts benefiting from its ability to bring together data from multiple schools. Arbor’s dedicated MIS for MATs is designed to help trusts collaborate across their schools, with tools that make it easy to work together as one organisation.
The new partnership is part of the Confederation's Platinum Partner scheme, which brings together leading companies within the industry and CST’s members, who together are responsible for the education of nearly three million young people.
CST chief executive Leora Cruddas CBE said: "Education in our schools must always be about children. Being able to collect and understand data about their knowledge and attendance is a really powerful asset for teachers and school leaders, enabling them to target interventions and training.
"Technology has so much potential to help trust leaders, and innovators like Arbor are at the forefront of giving school trusts the tools they need to make a difference.”
Arbor chief executive James Weatherill said: "We’re thrilled to be announcing our partnership with the Confederation of Schools Trusts today.
"At Arbor, our mission is to transform the way schools and trusts work. We’re delighted to partner with an organisation committed to doing the same, and are looking forward to working on projects and events together which show our commitment to working with trust leaders on improving operational, data and growth challenges and helping them to operate as one trust, not multiple schools.
"We’re looking forward to supporting our customers through the CST network, and to meeting other trust leaders interested in the ways that Arbor can help as you scale your data and operations.”
