Introduction for Parents & Contacts

Note: The colours and logo you see on screen may differ from the images provided in this help, as your school can configure the look of their WCBS schoolPORTAL. Example data is shown in the images throughout this help

Your school has chosen to use WCBS schoolPORTAL to make useful documents and data available to you via a secure communication channel. The site enables you to access everything from reports to videos at a time convenient to you. You can also use it to communicate with school staff via email and review and pay bills.

Note: Your school may not be using all of the features described, so some of these options may not be available. For more information, please contact your school.

Parents / contacts can monitor their children's progress and have immediate access to:

  • Pupil's personal information, including medical details, absences, disciplinary events and achievements.
  • Billing and account information, including: online bill payment options; accessing bills, credit notes and supporting schedules; and accessing Direct Debit payment schedules.
  • Pupil's academic information, including subject sets and public exams.
  • Marks and grades from regular assessments.
  • Attendance and calendar / timetable details, including trips and activities.
  • School reports.
  • Documents, photographs and videos.
  • Links to other websites specified by your school.
  • Other parents' contact details (if they have consented to share them).

In addition to the above, those parents / contacts assigned as bill payers are able to:

  • View outstanding items still to pay.
  • Make secure online payments.
  • View billing items already paid.
  • View items awaiting billing.

Note: The term 'contact' means a parent or other person who is a contact for the pupil and has been granted access to WCBS schoolPORTAL by your school. The term 'bill payer' refers to a contact who is also responsible for bill payment. The term 'copy bill recipient' refers to a contact who is not the primary bill payer. Your school can configure whether specific copy bill recipients are also able to make payments.

Note: If you have more than one child at the school, use the Pupil drop list in the header to select the child whose details you wish to view. For details, see Do you have More than One Child at the School?.

Note: Pupils may also log in to WCBS schoolPORTAL, but see slightly different information. For example, on the My details page, parents see their associated pupils and payment details, whereas pupils only see their user details. If you have any questions, please contact your school.
