There are 2 portals:
- School portal – for nurseries, schools, academies, free schools, independent schools and colleges
- Organisation portal – for teacher supply agencies, local authorities and training providers
This overview covers the school portal. Users access this portal via DfE Sign-in, using the service named ‘Teacher Services: Employer Access - Schools’.
There is a page of guidance on GOV.UK which describes how to access the service and what you can use it for. The GOV.UK guidance refers to the portal as ‘Teacher Services’.
Managing a list of teachers
In addition to all of the features of the organisation portal, the school portal lets users:
- maintain a list of teachers
- ‘claim’ new teachers (add to list)
- ‘disown’ old teachers (remove from list)
