Step by step guide:

Managing your school account

After your account is activated, you can invite or remove colleagues, add admins, and view which services your school has access to. It is recommended to set up at least two Organisation Administrators and, if applicable, Training Administrators. This ensures continuity and resilience in managing your school’s account and training resources. Once your account setup is complete, you and your team will have access to a variety of resources, including:

Organisation admins are responsible for receiving and acting on the account setup link, ensuring the setup is completed promptly to enable access for the entire team, and managing admin changes if necessary.

  • Key Leaders: A library of templates, checklists, and model policies designed for school leaders.

  • Safeguarding: eLearning modules and resources to ensure compliance and safety.

  • CPD (Continuing Professional Development): Leadership courses and statutory eLearning opportunities.

  • GovernorHub: Tools and resources tailored for governance needs.

  • KeyGPT: A generative AI assistant that provides personalized responses to help you take action faster.

    • Go to the Manage Users section

If you can’t access the page

  • If you see the message: “Oops, it looks like you don’t have access to this page yet”
    → This usually means you haven’t verified your email. Please verify your email before trying again.

  • If you see the message: “This page can only be viewed by Organisation Admins or Training Admins”
    → You are not currently an admin. Click the Request admin permissions button:

    • If your school already has admins, the request will go to them

    • If no admins are in place, the request will be sent to The Key for approval after security checks

  • If the current Organisation admin has left or is unavailable, follow your organisation’s internal process to designate a new admin. Once designated, the new admin can complete the setup process.

Welcome email

Once your school has purchased membership, you’ll receive a welcome email (it may look slightly different depending on the type of membership).

Organisation admins will receive an account setup link to begin the process.

  • Look for the button that says Complete your account set up or Activate your new permissions.

If you haven’t received your welcome email, would like us to resend it, or have any questions, please let us know using this enquiry form. Additionally, a copy of the invoice will be emailed to your organisation’s billing contact. Please ensure that the billing contact details are up-to-date to avoid any delays.
