Dear Parent/carer
The Department for Education (DfE) has launched an app designed to support students with accessing their Educational Records.
Education records are part of a new service from the Department for Education (DfE) to provide pupils with their education information and help them share this information as part of their post-16 journey.
Education records contain unique educational information for each pupil, including:
- their name, address and date of birth
- the schools they have attended
- their qualifications (after results are released)
- any support needs
For more information, please watch this video Education records explained
If you would like your child to have access to the education record via the app, please download the app on or before Monday 13th April
Education records will be issued on the DfE education record app. Pupils must download the app onto their phones from the Apple or Google App Stores. The rest of the issuing process will take place in school.
The Apple version of the app requires iOS version 15 or newer and the Android version requires 8.1 or newer.
Students will have a session in the Sports Hall where staff will be present to verify the student’s identity and generate a unique QR code to ensure that the app is linked to the correct records.
| Form group | Date |
| 11T-EN1 | Tuesday 14TH April |
| 11T-EN2 and 11T-EN3 | Wednesday 15TH April |
| 11T-MA1 and 11T-MA2 | Thursday 16th April |
| 11T-MA3 and 11T-Sc1 | Friday 17th April |
| Catch up sessions | Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 April |
After the issuing process, pupils will have their education information on their phones. They can then use the app to share this information digitally with sixth forms or colleges when they enroll.
Further information is available on the DfE Website Parents, guardians and pupils – issue education records.
Yours sincerely,
S Muschette
Assistant Principal
