Add Pupil page with name, email and optional team fields
A pupil can be registered now and assigned to a team later. Example data shown.

Check before saving

Use the email address the pupil will use to access the portal. A pupil can be added without a team and assigned later.

Share it safely

The link is single-use and its expiry is shown on screen. Share it only with the named pupil and never paste it into a class-wide message or document.

If the link stops working

Return to the pupil record and generate a fresh link. Check that the pupil is opening the newest link and using the email address shown in their record.
