We are very excited to be using Arbor Parent Portal at Orchard View Primary Academy – a parent engagement app that will allow you to make payments and communicate with the academy at any time from anywhere.
What can the Arbor Parent Portal be used for?
- Take a look at your child’s key attendance information, including their average attendance for the year so far
- Request a change to your contact details for your child such as your home address or phone number
- Register your child for an upcoming academy trip
- Manage your child’s payment accounts and make payments directly
- Book slots at parent and carer consultations/parent evenings
- Request to add new medical information about your child
Not used Arbor Parent Portal before?
To login into the Parent Portal for the first time and view your child’s dashboard, open the:Arbor Site
Click the “First time logging in” option in the bottom left corner.
- Enter your email address. This must be the address that we have on record for you.
- Click “Set Password”
- Remember, you need to set up your Arbor parent account in a normal browser so that you can enter your child’s date of birth when the pop-up window appears.
- Once you have set your password, you need to agree to the terms and conditions to proceed to your dashboard
Once you have logged in, we recommend that you save the Arbor Log In page to your favourites or bookmarks, so you can access it easily in future.
On your first login only, you will need to enter your child’s date of birth to access the dashboard.
Having trouble logging in? Contact us and we'll try and help you (office@avpa.school)

Log onto:

Download the app
Whilst you can access Arbor from a browser window on an iPad, iPhone or other mobile device, it works better through the Parent App or via the Parent Portal on a computer.
- Visit the Arbor login page or download the Arbor Parent Portal App to your mobile phone or tablet either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
- Enter your email address.
- Enter the password you set when you first registered.
More than one child at Orchard View?
If you have more than one child at Orchard View, you can access and view each child through the same portal by clicking on the name at the drop-down menu with the children’s names in the top-left of the home page, then change sibling.
On doing this for the first time, you will need to enter your other child’s date of birth to access their dashboard.
Have a child at another school using Arbor?
When you log into the Parent Portal or the Arbor App, you can see details about your children that attend one school using Arbor.
If you have two children attending the same school, you can easily switch between students in the app or on the portal.
If you have children at more than one school your experience of logging into the Parent Portal and Arbor App will be different. If you use the same email address at both schools, you will be asked which school you want to log into when you log into the app or portal.
You won't be able to switch between children on the portal or app if they attend two different schools. This is because each parent at each school will have a separate profile and account with that school.
