Signing up for trips on Arbor
From the main Parent Portal page, click on the Trips field within the Activities section.
The Trips main page features three sections
Upcoming Trips are any trips the child is currently registered for.
Past Trips are trips which have taken place.
Trips Open are any trips that the child can currently be registered for.
To start registering a child for a trip, click on the desired trip in the Trips Open section.
On the Trip Overview page, you can see details relating to the trip. Click on Sign Up to begin the registration process.
Free Trips
A slide over menu will appear where you can add consent for the trip by ticking the checkbox and ticking Add Consent.
Once consents have been confirmed, you will be taken back to the Trip Overview page. You will now see that the Status field will have been updated to confirmed.
When returning to the All Trips page, the trip will now be displayed in Upcoming Trips, rather than the Open Trips section.
Paid Trips
When registering the student for a paid trip, click the trip to be taken to the trip overview page. Click the Sign Up button.
A slide over will appear for payment.
You can then pay now or add the payment to your basket to pay later.
You can only sign up without paying if your school has chosen to allow voluntary payment and does not accept instalments.
Once you click Pay, Add in your card details, then click Pay.
If authentication is needed for the payment, you will be prompted to authenticate the payment using the method of authentication your bank supports. This could be:
- an SMS code,
- your mobile banking app
- another method
For example, here's what it may look like if you're using Monzo. (Please note, we are not affiliated with Monzo, this is purely an example)
Once we've been able to confirm your identity, the payment will be completed and your card will be charged. You'll see confirmation that the transaction has been successful.
If you've paid the full price of the trip the status of the trip will then change to confirmed, and the trip will appear on the All Trips page in the Upcoming Trips, rather than the Open Trips section.
If you have more left to pay, the amount you have left to pay is displayed at the top of the page and you can make another payment.
Updating information on your child's Arbor profile
You can see these on your Homepage, under the View Student Profile button.
To update this information, click on a notice. A slide over will appear where you can add the required information.
Once you've filled in all the information, the notices will disappear - you can edit the information by clicking into the data further down your child's profile.
For consents, you need to either Give or Decline consent.
You'll need to contact the office if you need to change whether you've consented or not. This is not possible to change through the Parent Portal.
