Parents Portal

Parentsportal.scot is a new digital service to help replace the traditional school bag run. It provides direct communication to parents/carers through a growing suite of online services, including information about a child's education and the ability to complete transactions such as paying for school meals, reporting your child’s absence and viewing their timetable and attendance.

Parentsportal.scot has been built to provide convenience, enabling parents to access information, update details and carry out transactions at a time that suits them.

To login to parentsportal.scot you need a myaccount, a service which enables you to access a range of Scottish public services online using one username and password.

Once you have signed in to parentsportal.scot, you can link your child to your account. After your child’s school approves the link, you will then be able to see information about your child and their school online. There will be additional services you can access, which will grow over time. Initially the services available will include those listed on the enclosed letter.

Myaccount is a simple, secure way to access a range of Scottish public services online using just one username and password. Provided by the Improvement Service and funded by the Scottish Government, it is completely free.

You can find out more about myaccount by visiting the MyGov website

To register for parentsportal.scot, you must first have a myaccount.

If you do already have a myaccount then you can sign in using your existing details using the following steps:

• Visit the Parentsportal website 
• Click ‘Sign in’. You will be taken to the myaccount sign in page
• Enter your username and password for myaccount and click ‘Sign-in’
• You will be asked to confirm that you are happy to share your information with parentsportal.scot. If you are please click ‘Yes, take me there’
• You will be asked to agree to parentsportal.scot terms and conditions. If you are happy to do so please tick the box at the bottom of the page and click ‘Accept’.

More information can be found in the Parentsportal Intro Video for Parents 

On the parentsportal.scot home page, click the ‘Link child’ button. There are three steps to follow:

1. Provide information about your child, the school they attend and your relationship with them. The information you provide will be verified against the information the school holds on record.
2. If the information you provide about your child matches what is on record at their school, you will be sent a Security Code either to your phone/email already in the school system, to provide additional security.
3. Once you have entered the security code, your request will be sent to the school to either approve or deny the link. You will be notified of their decision by email.

Once the school has confirmed your link, you will be able to access all the parentsportal.scot services for your child.

To ensure a secure link to a child’s data, the information you have in your myaccount must match the information held in the school system (SEEMIS). If the information does not match you will see a screen advising:

Unfortunately, the details you provided did not match the data held in our records. Please check again that the details you entered were correct, if they were, please contact your child’s school to make sure the details held in the school system (SEEMIS) are correct to enable a secure link to be made.

Examples of why the link may have failed:

• your name or address appear differently in the school system e.g. Tom/Thomas
• you have entered the incorrect details for your child – did you use a nickname? Did you provide the correct address for your child? Did you enter the correct year stage for your child? (P = Primary / S = Secondary).

If you are sure the information you have in your myaccount matches what is held in the school system about you, please contact your child’s school directly.

School staff will ensure that both your own, as well as your child’s personal data which is held by your child’s school, is only ever accessible to those who have parental rights.

If you need to contact the school office regarding a failed link attempt, please be aware that school staff will ask parents/carers a number of security questions relating to you and your child before being able to provide you with advice.

Parents/carers can also make enquiries via email. The school will only be able to help you if the email address matches the email address which is held by the school/

In Step 2, you can choose to receive a security code via text message to your phone or via email.

If you requested to receive the security code via email, and it hasn’t arrived, please check your junk or spam folder in case it is in there.

If the code hasn’t arrived via email or mobile phone, it could be that the school doesn’t have an up-to-date email address or mobile phone number for you. It’s your responsibility to ensure the school has your current contact details.

If you have not received the security code, please contact your child’s school and inform them that you did not receive the security code, and that you need to double check that the email address and mobile phone number they hold for you is correct.

School staff will check the system every working day, however, please allow five working days. If you have not heard anything within five working days, please contact the school.
