We have created a portal to help you gain more information about the progress of a student at college. For parents and carers the portal provides information on a student's attendance, punctuality and academic achievement, along with access to their timetable and work placement logs. For employers who are providing a work placement for a student, the portal allows for working hours to be approved and progress monitored.
Look out for phishing emails : We would like to remind everyone to be vigilant when viewing emails appearing to be from the college. If any email requests unexpected information to be entered, or has a strange attachment, please close it straight away. If you are unsure of the authenticity of an email please call the college to check.
Progress Portal for parents and carers
For parents and carers logins to the system are issued automatically at the start of the academic year if the student is aged under 19. Login details are sent by email to the email address provided to the college. Please login by clicking the button below. If you have forgotten your password it is possible to reset this by clicking the "forgot my password" link below the login box.
Log In to the Progress Portal for parents and carers
2025/2026 Academic Year : Logins for Parents/Carers of students who joined the College will be sent out by email by Friday 19th September 2025 or within 5 working days from a student's enrolment (if joining the College after this date). Those who accessed the portal last academic year, will be issued with new passwords by email on the same date. If you do not receive your login details by Tuesday 23rd September 2025 or have any other login problems, please do contact our technical support team using the "Help? Raise a Support Ticket" button below.
Registering using the Parent Pin
If you are expecting login details but have not received them, or the student is over the age of 19, it is possible to register manually for the portal.
Every student has a Parent Pin, which is located on their EILP Portal (in Student Details). The student needs to locate the PIN and provide it to you. Once you have the PIN click the button below to register. Requests are manually reviewed and will be rejected if the PIN is incorrect or your details do not match our records.
Progress Portal for employers
For employers providing work placements or work experience for college students you will be given access to the system. Login details are sent by email to the email address provided to the college. Please login by clicking the button below. If you have forgotten your password it is possible to reset this by clicking the "forgot my password" link below the login box.
