The Parent/Carer Details page is used when you register with the web-based Admissions Service by recording Personal Information and Home Address. This page is displayed by clicking on the Register Now link or the My Details option (when it may be used to edit personal information).
Certain information is mandatory (compulsory). This is indicated below, and with an asterisk on-screen.
Your Personal Information
Name: This is mandatory information. Select the drop-down arrow to select from the list of possible titles. Then select the boxes and type in your forename and surname.
Gender: This is mandatory. Select the correct gender.
Home Phone No.: Please enter your full home number, including STD code. This field is optional.
Business Phone No.: Please enter your full business number, including STD code. This field is optional.
Mobile Phone No.: Please enter your mobile phone number. This field is optional.
Email: Enter your current email address. When you
submit the application you will be able to choose whether or not you would like
to be informed of the offer of a school place by email. This email address will
be used for that purpose.
Please note that if you are making your own
application through Admissions Online you must have a valid email account. If
you have already registered your email address will be displayed. If this is
altered the new address will be verified and a confirmation email will be sent
to the previous account.
In order to eliminate errors you need to enter your
email address twice - once in the Email field and then again in the
Confirm Email field. If these entries are different you will not be able
to save the information.
The only occasion when an email address is not
mandatory is if a school is making the application on behalf of an applicant,
through Admissions and Transfers in One Online (this system is not
directly accessible by applicants). In One Online, if an email address is
not entered and therefore the applicant cannot be notified of their application
automatically, then the application can be printed from the Submit
screen.
Password: This is mandatory. Enter the password you wish to use. This must be between 6 and 15 characters long and must contain a minimum of 2 numbers and 2 letters.
Re-type Password: This is mandatory. Re-enter the password to confirm it.
Select your secret question: This is mandatory. This is an extra security safeguard. If you forget your password it will only be sent to the person with knowledge of the answer to this question and the correct email address. You might have a choice of questions or there might only be one available to you. This will have been decided by your Local Authority. Select the drop down arrow (if available) to open a list of questions - for example, "Mother's Maiden Name" or "Town of Birth". Click on the one you would like to use.
Your answer to secret question: Enter the answer to the question chosen above. You can use up to 30 characters, which can be any of: letters (upper and lower case), numbers, hyphen (but only a single hyphen), apostrophe, space, full stop and comma. You must remember exactly what you have typed (including capital letters)
Your Address
You should enter the address to which correspondence is to be sent (this does not need to be the address of the child at the time of admission and can be changed by you at any time). Enter your postcode then select the search button to open the Admissions and Transfers (A&T) Address Selector which you should use to enter your address. If you have forgotten your postcode select the link provided - this takes you to the Royal Mail website where you can search for your postcode.
If you live overseas select the link provided to open the Enter Your Overseas Address window where you can type in your address.
Unless your child is part of a returning Crown Servant or Service family that can provide official written confirmation that they will be moving into the area before they start their new school, if your child currently lives outside the area of the Local Authority to which you are applying, please apply to the Local Authority in which you live. Please enter the home address at the time of making the application. The address at which you live at the closing date (unless you are a returning Crown Servant or Service family) will be the address used when applying the Authority’s published admissions criteria. If you move house after the closing date, please notify the appropriate Admissions Authority of the new home address.
Save
When all the information has been entered select the Save button. This will only become available if all mandatory (compulsory) fields have been completed, and will complete the registration process. A message will be displayed when you have successfully registered. When this button is selected, depending on the policy of your Local Authority, you will either be taken directly to the online admissions application form Home Page or back to the login page. In this case you must log in using your password before filling in the online application form.
Cancel
The Cancel button will return you to the login page. Any information entered will be lost.
