Prepare pupils for issuing

Education records to be issued at school

We will be issuing digital education records to all year 11 pupils this [winter/spring/summer] term.

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 this information 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)
• any support needs

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.

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.
