We’re at ArborFest 2026 – Come and see what Salamander can do for your Arbor school 

We're delighted to be joining the Arbor community at ArborFest 2026, taking place at the Liverpool Experience Campus on Tuesday 30 June.

ArborFest is back – and so are we. 

We’re delighted to be joining the Arbor community at ArborFest 2026, taking place at the Liverpool Experience Campus on Tuesday 30 June.  

It’s shaping up to be the biggest one yet, and we’re looking forward to being part of it. 

If you’re an Arbor school or MAT –  or you’re thinking about what you could be doing better with your Arbor data – come and find us in the Marketplace. We’d love to show you what SalamanderSoft can do. 

What does SalamanderSoft do for Arbor schools? 

In short: we take your Arbor data and put it to work. 

Your MIS holds everything – pupil records, staff details, timetables, form groups, pastoral structures. 

But for most schools, that data doesn’t automatically flow into the platforms that need it. 

Someone – usually school IT – needs to manually create accounts, update groups, change timetables and chase down accounts that should have been removed when a member of staff left.  

The Salamander Integration Suite integrates directly with Arbor to automate the user management tasks that currently eat up your IT team’s time: 

• Creating and updating accounts for staff and pupils (including future starters and leavers). 

• Syncing class, subject, registration and tutor groups. 

• Keeping timetable information up to date across your platforms. 

• Managing pastoral structure data. 

• Syncing staff and pupil photos. 

• Automating leavers’ processes so accounts are disabled or removed at the right time.  

And for schools that need it, our optional writeback add-on lets you push data back into Arbor too – such as updating email address fields – so your MIS stays as accurate as the systems around it. 

Whether your school runs Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or both, Salamander sits in the middle and keeps everything in sync – automatically, reliably, and without your IT team having to lift a finger. 

Why speak with us at ArborFest 2026 

If you’re spending time at ArborFest hearing about Arbor Workflows, Smart Reports and the future of AI in schools, the last thing you want is for your IT team to still be manually managing accounts in the background. 

For schools and trusts where every hour counts, it’s what frees your people up to focus on the work that actually matters. 

The schools we work with often tell us the same thing: they didn’t realise how much time was being lost until they stopped losing it. 

If you’re new to Arbor – perhaps you’ve recently moved from another platform – this is a great time to also review how your user management works. Getting automation in place early means you won’t carry old manual habits into your new system.

Come and find us at the Marketplace 

We’ll be at the Marketplace at ArborFest 2026, ready to talk through what we do and how it could work for your school or trust. 

Whether you want a quick demo, have a specific question about your setup, or just want to find out if what we do is relevant to you – come and say hello.  

As always, there’s no pressure or sales pitch, just a straightforward conversation about what’s possible.
