Arbor is the way that Hodgson Academy will communicate with parents and guardians about your child's activities at school. Its quick and easy to access and this page will walk you through the process
Logging on for the first time
The first time that you log on to Arbor you will need to access the site from desktop or laptop computer (not tablet / mobile devices). The site can be accessed by clicking here, where you will be greeted by this page. You should click the link highlighted for your first time logging in.
After clicking this option the following box will ask you for your email address. You must use the email address given to school as your primary email address as this is how we will link you to your child. If the email address is on our system, you will receive an email to use to set a password. If this does not arrive in your inbox, please check junk / spam folders.
After you have set a password you will be able to login for the first time. On your first login it will ask you for the date of birth of your child. This is a one off request and is another strategy used to keep the data safe.
Switching Between Multiple Children
If you have multiple children at Hodgson Academy you will be able to access all of their accounts through the same login. In the top left corner, next to the childs name is a small down arrow. Clicking this will allow you to select your other child's profile.
If you have any issues with Arbor please contact school on arbor@hodgson.lancs.sch.uk
