New Parent Portal - Arbor

We are excited to introduce our new Arbor Parent Portal system! The Arbor system will replace the School Gateway App / School Comms.

Arbor is available on the web via a computer or tablet, or through the app that can be downloaded on the Google Play Store or iOS App Store on mobile or tablet devices. When accessing Arbor from a computer, we recommend using the Google Chrome web browser.

If you have more than one child at Redwood, you’ll have access to information for all your children, all from the same login.

This system, which can be accessed via the Arbor website or through the Arbor App, will allow you to do the following things:

Receive and reply to messages from school free of charge
Change your phone number, address and contact information
Give consent for photo, data, medical and other permissions for your child
See your child’s attendance, behaviour and achievement data in real time
View your child's daily timetable
Access your childs school reports as they become available

Getting Started:

It is recommended that you log in for the first time on a desktop or laptop computer, we recommend using Chrome as your web browser.

Important - In order for you to receive an invitation, we must have your up to date email address. Please check your junk folder before contacting us. If you need to update your email address, please email repro@redwood-school.com or call us on 01706 750815.

Getting started for the first time is really easy. Please follow the steps below:

Click the “First time logging in” option in the bottom left corner.
Enter your email address.
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.

Should you have any issues, please first repeat the steps above starting at step 1. If you continue to have difficulties logging in, then please contact school and we will help you to resolve your issue.

Save the Link!

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.
