How can we start using it?

MARK is completely free and can be accessed by every teacher within your school.  To order MARK, click here if you are a primary school, and here if you are a secondary school. 

When you go to place your order you will be asked to nominate a member of staff to assume the role of Access Coordinator to complete your order; this is to ensure your children’s data is secure. The Access Coordinator can get your school set up on the site by following a few simple steps and will be able to approve access for teachers so they can enter results and generate reports.

If you already have a MARK account, you can access MARK directly here (we recommend bookmarking this link if you will be using the site often):
