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.

To create a Satchel One account, you will need a Parent Code. You can obtain this from your child's Satchel One account, or this may be provided to you from your child's school.



Obtaining a Parent Code

Obtaining a Parent Code will allow you to create a new parent / guardian account or recreate an existing account you have lost access to.

Please follow the guidance below to obtain an up to date Parent Code (please note that Parent Codes expire 3 months after being generated).

Via the mobile app

You can obtain your Parent Code from your child's account on the mobile app. Please ask them to log in, then go to Settings > Parent Code to find the code!

Via web browser

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! This can be found by scrolling down on the Account Settings page, to the section below.

From here, you can simply click 'Show code', and it will reveal your Parent Code.

Request from school

You can request the Parent Code from the school directly.

💡 If you already have an account you will no longer need a Parent Code, and can simply reset your password if you have forgotten it!


Sign up as a parent / guardian

To create your account, you will need a unique Parent Code.

This may have been provided to you by the school, or you may have obtained this from your child's Satchel One account.

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:

Email verification

After following the link in your verification email, you’ll be taken to a unique login page. You must log in on this specific page in order to verify your account; logging in elsewhere or simply following the link will not verify your account.

Please ensure you are using an email and password to log in when verifying; logging in via Google or Office 365 will not verify your account.

If you are experiencing any further issues, please reach out to us here and we will be happy to help.

You will see the student(s) you are currently linked to, with a + button at the top right of the screen.

Tap the + symbol and you'll be prompted to type in a Parent Code that you've received for another child; once linked they'll be visible on your Satchel One account too!

At any time on the app, click the avatar of your child and you will be able to switch between your children quickly and easily.

💡Top tips:

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.
