Parentsportal: annual data checks

When the school publishes the data check, you will receive an email asking you to sign in to Parentsportal to complete it online. If you have more than one child, you will need complete a data check for all. 

Only one person can complete the data check, this will be the main contact listed for your child.

What happens after

Any changes you make will need to be approved by the school. If approved the data check will be submitted automatically.

If any changes are rejected by the school, the section will show as 'please check details' again. You will have to enter new details for approval, or submit the section without the changes.
