You’ll be taken to the log in page. If you already have an account with us, you can just sign in. If you don’t have an account, you’ll just need to press create an account.
To create an account, you will need to fill out your full name, preferred name, email address, date of birth, phone number and create a password. We advise you don’t use a school email address for this as when you leave, you won’t have access anymore. We also advise you use your own email address rather than a parent/carer and keep an eye on your email!
You will then be asked to fill out more personal details. This includes things like your title, gender at birth, gender identity and address etc. We recommend you fill out as much of this as possible to make your process go quicker at enrolment.
The next page is for further details, this means information about your emergency contact, nationality/residency, safeguarding questions and support needs. When filling out your emergency contact, it is preferred that you provide the details of a parent/family member or carer, rather than a friend or partner.
Next, you’ll be asked to fill out your qualifications. You can fill this out with previous qualifications you have already achieved, or if you are waiting to get your GCSE results, you can use predicted grades. Please tell us your most recent qualifications, for most people applying it will be your predicted GCSE grades.
Following on, you will be taken to the declaration page. This tells you how we’ll use your data/information that you have filled in and ask you your communication preferences.
