How to register for a Citizen Portal account
These instructions will help you to register for a portal account so that you can apply for school travel support.
You will already have an account if you have used the portal to apply for a Reception or Year 7 place - so just sign in or select 'forgotten password' if you can't remember your details.
If you haven't used the portal before, you will need an email address to register for an account.

Step 2: Enter your details

Complete all fields as requested. Clicking on each question will tell you how to complete a field.
For example, clicking on 'Password' will tell you how many characters you need to use and what they must consist of.

The password that you choose is what you will use to sign in to your account, once registration is completed.
