Step 1: Go to 'Manage Members'
Add students to your school account by clicking to 'Manage members' from your school dashboard.
On the School members page, you'll see a list of all the members within that school, including the current owner, teachers and students.
Step 2: Click '+ Add student'
Click 'Add student' and choose from the option to add a single student or to add multiple students at once.
Step 3: Adding multiple students
- You will need to upload a CSV file containing student names, usernames and passwords (please note that you can currently only perform 1 upload at a time per school).
- A template which uses the required formatting is available for download.
- You will see notification messages on the 'School members' page to let you know when your upload is processing and when it is complete.
- This username should be unique within this school account and should NOT contain the student's real name. If your school already has unique identifiers for students, we recommend using these.
- Passwords must be at least 8 characters long and difficult to guess. You will need to share this password with the student. They will choose their own password when they log in for the first time.
Tip: To avoid errors, ensure your formatting matches the linked CSV format. This error usually happens when the usernames in your file are already in use. Even if these are new students, the system might be creating usernames that are too similar to existing ones (e.g., ajones). To fix this, try making the usernames more unique. For example, you could add the year to the end (ajones2025) and then try uploading the file again.
Step 4: Finding student
Once students are added, they will appear on the “School members” page.

Why am I getting errors when trying to update or add a student?
There are a few reasons you might see an error when trying to update or add a new student to your school.
Usernames:
- Check the username you're giving to a student is not already in use in the school account.
- Check the username is not the same as the password.
Passwords:
- Check that the temporary password you're giving to a student is at least 8 characters long.
- Check you have not used a potentially insecure temporary password, such as 12345678, password123. Password that are too simple or easy to guess are not allowed. Use our password help to choose a more secure password.
