About us
At Arbor were on a mission to transform the way schools work for the better.
We believe in a future of work in schools where being challenged doesnt mean being burnt out and overworked. Where data guides progress without overwhelming staff. And where everyone working in a school is reminded why they got into education every day.

At the heart of our brand is a recognition that the challenges schools face today arent just about efficiency outputs and productivity - but about creating happier working lives for the people who drive education everyday: the staff. We want to make schools more joyful places to work as well as learn.
