Parent/Carer Portal
Monitoring Learner Progress
We are committed to providing a valuable and supportive learning experience for all learners, helping them achieve their career and learning objectives and make a positive contribution to society.
To support this commitment we operate a scheme that allows parents/carers access to their young person’s college reports and attendance records to support them with their journey with us.
Important
Learners will need to send an email to parentportalapp@rnngroup.ac.uk to give their consent for their parent/carer to access the Parent Portal.
Learners control access to this information and can withdraw that access at any time.

More Information about the Parent Portal

This Parent Portal allows you to access your young person’s information online, providing your young person has given permission for you to access this.
Through the Portal you can see academic information, attendance and punctuality, targets and reports for each subject.
