Dear G28 Parents and Carers,
We will be issuing digital education records to year 11 pupils on Friday afternoon, before our final community circle. To accommodate this work can students please be in school by 1:45pm.
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 these details as part of their post-16 journey.
Education records contain unique education information for each pupil, including:
their name, address and date of birth
the schools they have attended
their qualifications (after results are released) I
any support needs
This video summarises their use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSg32VhCHSw
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. Please encourage your child to download this before they come into school.
The Apple version of the app requires iOS version 15.0 or newer and the Android version requires 8.1 or newer.
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 enrol.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Best Wishes,
Darren Mead
Exams Officer
