If your child is moving to a new school, it’s really important that your child can keep their hard-earned DoodleStars and retain all their progress data, that is so informative when developing their work programme. Fortunately, it’s really easy to link their account to a new school! To this, please ensure you have linked your parent email to your child's account first. Then follow these steps:

Step 1 - update the school through the Parent Dashboard

  1. Please login to the Parent Dashboard

  2. Hover over My account and click on Child details

  3. Select your child’s name on the left hand side

  4. Click on the box next to School and start typing their school name until it appears in the list. Check the school postcode to make sure it is the correct school.

  5. Press Save changes


Step 2 - over to the teacher

Once you have done step 1 it is important to let your child’s school know that you have linked their account to the school.

The teacher will see your child's name listed under Linked students on their Teacher Dashboard. Ask the teacher to verify them, move them to the correct class and archive any school accounts they may have created for them.
