Signing in for the first time

Accounts & Sign-In

Use your school account to sign in. This is the same school identity used for ClassLink and Microsoft services.

First sign-in checklist

  1. Connect to WiFi if the laptop asks for a network. In school, your laptop should normally use CLM-Secure automatically.
  2. Enter your school email address when asked.
  3. Enter your school password.
  4. Wait while Windows finishes preparing your account. The first sign-in can take longer than normal.
  5. Open ClassLink once you reach the desktop and check that your main school apps appear.

If it does not work

  • Check that your email address is typed correctly.
  • Make sure Caps Lock is not on.
  • Restart the laptop and try again.
  • If you are still stuck, speak to your form tutor.
