Open the event
Sign in to the START Portal, select Events and open the event that needs a reply. The event page shows the date, start time and your school's current response.
Answer for your school
Choose Yes if anyone from your school will attend. Choose No, our school will not attend if nobody is coming.
This is one shared response for your school. Any teacher at your school can update it until the event starts.
Select everyone attending
When you choose Yes, select every teacher and pupil who will attend. Use the filter to find a person quickly, then check that the selected total is correct.
The portal calculates the pupil number from the named pupils you select. There is no separate box for a provisional pupil count.
Save or update the response
Select Save response. You can return to the event and update the answer or attendee list until the event starts.
If your plans change and nobody from the school will attend, choose No, our school will not attend and save again.
If you cannot reply
Check that you are signed into the account for the correct school. If the event is missing, your setup link does not work or somebody is absent from the school list, contact your START programme contact for help.
