- How to search for your school on Cambridge GO
- How to register your school
- Actions that school Admins can do
Your first opportunity to register your school is immediately after you register a profile as a Teacher, when you will be offered the choice to Join a school with a joining code, Search for and join a school, or Skip for now.
If your school’s GO admin has given you a joining code, which will be in this format XX-XXXXX-XXXXXX, you can use it to join your school. Your admin can find more information at school joining code instructions.
If you choose 'Skip for now', you can always set up your school later by clicking on ‘Join a School’ under your profile.
How to search for your school on Cambridge GO
Click ‘Search for and join a school’ to find out if your school is already set up in GO. You will be asked for some basic details about your school. Please enter your details as accurately as you can.
If we find a school that we think is yours, you will be given a chance to join it straight away. If your email matches the domain name of your school, you should be accepted immediately. If it does not, your request will be processed manually.
How to register your school
If we cannot find your school, you will be asked to complete the registration process.
You will then be asked for the address and contact details of your school. For security reasons, it is important to get these details correct.
Important: We will be unable to process your registration if there are any gaps or inaccuracies in the information that you submit. Please ensure you use the correct address, give us a phone number for the school office where we can verify your identity if necessary, and most importantly do not use a personal email address but the email with your school domain.
It takes up to 3 working days to process school registrations, and we may need to get in touch for more information. While your request is pending, you will see this notice in your Profile:
Your request may be refused in certain circumstances. Find out more about rejected requests.
Actions that school Admins can do
Once a school is registered, it is possible to add teachers and students to your school account, which will enable us to support you better as you use GO.
Note that by registering your school, you will become the first Admin at your school. The role of Admin means that you can:
- Invite other Teachers to join the school using a joining code
- Make other Teachers an admin
- Bulk upload student details
You can nominate additional Admins at any time. NOTE: There must always be one Admin at each institution registered with GO, and it is the school's responsibility to make sure that this is the case. You can Contact Us to add an Admin to your school account.
