Parent/Carer Portal
Stay connected with your child's school life
At The Hayling College, we want parents and carers to feel informed, involved and connected with their child's education.
Arbor is our Parent Portal and App, giving you convenient access to important information about your child and helping us strengthen communication between home and College.
Whether you use the Arbor App on your phone or the Parent Portal through a web browser, your account provides a simple way to keep up to date with your child's school life.
What can I use Arbor for?
Arbor can allow parents and carers to:
- Check attendance and see your child's attendance information
- See behaviour and recognition, including positive points and other information shared by the College
- Receive College messages and important updates
- View your child's timetable and school information
- Book Parents' Evening appointments
- Access information about trips and clubs
- Check and update relevant personal information and consents
Attendance at your fingertips
Regular attendance is one of the foundations of success at school, and Arbor makes it easier to keep track of your child's attendance.
Celebrating positive participation
We want parents and carers to know about the positive contribution their child makes to College life.
Through Arbor, you can see behaviour information that the College has chosen to share, including positive points and other recorded information.
Arbor Help Centre
This gives families another opportunity to recognise success at home and start positive conversations about school.
Better communication between home and College
Strong communication is central to our partnership with parents and carers.
As we continue to develop Arbor, our aim is to make it easier for families to find important information and stay connected with the College.
