As a parent or guardian, you can log into Satchel One and have oversight of your student's school life! It's a great way to stay up to date and allows you to keep track of school life via notifications of your choosing, wherever you are.

As a parent, you will receive correspondence from your child's school with a Parent Code that you will need to use to create your Satchel One parent account.

Sign up as a parent

To create your account, you will need a unique Parent Code which is usually provided to you by the school.

You can use the same code to create up to 5 parent / guardian accounts, so feel free to share this with those that need access to your child's Satchel One account.

Once you have your Parent Code, please follow these instructions to create your account:

On the web browser

Step 1:

  • Visit our login page and click the 'Parent' heading

  • Choose 'I don't have an account yet'

  • Search for your child's school by name or postcode

  • Enter your email address (please use an email address you have access to)

  • Enter your Parent Code

  • Tick 'I'm not a robot' and complete any security tasks

  • Click 'Sign up'

Step 2:

Tick to confirm the following details:

Step 3:

Please fill out your personal details.

Step 4:

You will receive an automated email from noreply@teamsatchel.com asking you to verify your account.

For security reasons, you'll have limited access to your account until you complete the email verification process.

⚠️ Please note: if an account is not verified with 28 days of being created, it will automatically be deleted.

Please open the email you've received and follow the link; sign in with your newly created login details to gain full access to your account.

If you can't see the automated email, please check your junk / spam folder.

Now that you're logged in, you will no longer need your parent code; moving forward you can access your account using your email and password combination.

Parent Code expired?

If you already have an account, you no longer need a Parent Code, simply reset your password!

If your Parent Code expired (this happens 3 months after it was generated by the school) or got lost before you managed to create an account:

  • You can request the parent code from the school

  • You can ask your child to log in to their account on a web browser and go to their Account Settings, where you will find the most up to date Parent Code!

Log in to your account

Once you have created your account using your parent code, you can access your account on any device using your email address and password.

  1. Go to our login page or open our mobile app

  2. Enter your child’s school (search by postcode)

  3. Type your email address and password

  4. Log in

To reset your password, click on 'Forgot password?' on the login page of the website or on the mobile app. 

Type in your email and a password reset email will be sent to you; please follow the instructions in the email to create a new password and regain access to your account.

💡Top tips:

  • If you do not see the password reset email in your inbox, you may want to check your junk or spam folder.

  • If your email is not recognised, please contact the school directly; for security reasons, we will not be able to assist any further.

Assisting with student logins

Has your child forgotten their login details? As a parent, you can assist!
 
Open the Satchel One app and from the menu, go to Settings > Student management. You will be able to see a student PIN which they can use to reset their details. The PIN is also visible on the website, right on your dashboard.

If your child does not have a PIN, please contact the school directly.
