We are excited to announce the launch of Arbor at The Ripley Academy and Sixth Form. Arbor is an interactive software package that will be integrated into daily school life. It will enable you to fully engage in your child’s learning, as teachers track achievement and behaviour throughout the school day.

We plan to make Arbor our main source of communication for parents. We will be introducing different aspects of the application to you as we move through the remainder of the academic year, with the likes of homework, two-way communication and reports all coming online in the near future.

Abor Setup

To begin, you will need to access the Arbor website. Use the link below to do this, or alternatively, download the app from the App Store and complete the setup on your smart device.

Arbor Website | Students and Parents Login

We’ve put together this short video to help students get logged into Arbor successfully for the first time.

The most important thing to remember is that the initial login and password setup should be completed using a web browser, rather than the Arbor app. Students will need access to their school email account to set or reset their Arbor password, so we recommend completing this process inside of school where possible as their two-factor authentication will need setting up if using Microsoft 365 out of school.

The video below takes you through the process step by step.

Once the account is set up and working, students can then use the Arbor website for normal access.

After you have downloaded the App or made your way to the website, please locate you access code. This can be found within the launch letter which was sent home to you. After you located the access code, please take 5 minutes to watch the support video below.

If you have any questions, please e-mail arbor@ripleyacademy.org
