S6 Schools helps you keep up with your child’s school day from one clear starting point. What you can see depends on what your school has made available and which children have been connected to your account.

1. Start Here

Your school will give you the email address and temporary password linked to your parent account.

  1. Open the S6 Schools web app.
  2. Enter the email address and password supplied by your school.
  3. Follow any password-change or extra sign-in check shown on screen.
  4. Keep your new password private and sign out when using a shared phone or computer.

If you have forgotten your password, use Forgot password. If you do not recognise the email address on your account, contact your school office.

2. Find Your Children

After signing in, the parent home page shows the children linked to your account. You can use it to see items that need attention, recent school information, homework, attendance and available reports.

If a child is missing:

  • Check that you signed in with the email address given to the school.
  • Sign out and sign in again if the school has just updated your account.
  • Contact the school office with your name, the child’s name and class.
  • Do not create a second account unless the school asks you to.

Only the school can connect a child to a parent account.

3. Homework, Timetables And Learning Resources

Use Homework to see published tasks, due dates, submission progress and teacher feedback for your linked children.

Use Timetable to check the school day and any changes your school has shared. Use Resources for learning material that has been made available to families.

If an expected item is not visible, first confirm that you selected the correct child. The school or teacher can confirm whether it has been published for families.

4. Attendance, Progress And Reports

The parent home page gives you a quick attendance summary for each linked child. Use Reports to read report cards and download available copies.

Some schools may also share selected behaviour information with parents. Items that have not been shared will not appear in your account.

Questions about a mark, absence or school decision should be sent to the school. S6 Schools displays the information the school has recorded; it does not replace a conversation with the teacher or school office.

5. Messages And School Notices

Use Messages to read notices and conversations that your school has made available.

  • Read the full notice before replying.
  • Keep your message focused on the child or school matter concerned.
  • Avoid sharing passwords or unnecessary personal information in a message.
  • For urgent safety matters, use the school’s normal emergency contact process.

6. Consent Forms And Parent Meetings

Use Consent forms to review requests for your linked children. Read the information carefully before accepting or declining, and add a note when the school asks for one.

Use Parent meetings to choose an available time when your school opens bookings. A time is only confirmed after the booking appears in your account.

7. Fees And Payment Information

Use Fees to view information your school has made available, such as balances, invoices or recorded payments.

Follow the payment instructions supplied by your school. If an amount, payment or reference looks wrong, contact the school finance office before paying again.

8. Password And Access Help

I cannot sign in

  1. Check that your email address is typed correctly.
  2. Try the latest password supplied by the school.
  3. Use Forgot password if the account uses your current email address.
  4. Contact the school office if the reset message does not arrive or your email address has changed.

I opened a page and was sent somewhere else

S6 Schools shows only the areas available to your parent account. Return to the parent home page and choose an available option. Ask the school if you believe something is missing.

I need help with school information

Contact the school office for missing children, incorrect details, marks, attendance, fees, consent questions or access supplied by the school. Use the Help Centre for quick guidance on using S6 Schools.

9. Keep Your Account Safe

  • Never share your password or a sign-in code.
  • Sign out on shared devices.
  • Check that you are on the official S6 Schools sign-in page before entering your details.
  • Tell the school promptly if you think someone else has used your account.
  • Share only the information needed to resolve your question.
