How to use Cedar
What is Cedar?
We use a platform called Cedar to work collaboratively with students and parents. We create students a Cedar account on application to JLC.
Students will use Cedar during their time at JLC to view their timetable, receive important messages from staff, view their grades, keep track of pastoral comments, view their exam timetables and monitor their attendance. Parents can use Cedar in a similar way to keep up to date with their young person's academic and personal progress.
New Applicants
Thank you for applying to join John Leggott College! Your application automatically creates you a Cedar account.
We will provide you with log in information for your Cedar account by post. Your welcome letter will include your Student ID and password. We can only share this information with you directly for your privacy and security,
Please ensure that you use your full student ID when trying to log in. Your student ID will begin with 'S'.
If you are having difficulties logging in, please contact us.
Parents
Parents are only able to log into Cedar after enrolment. Once your young person has officially joined JLC, you can create a parent account. This will allow you to see details of their attendance and any pastoral comments which have been made by college staff.
To create your account you will need to know the students 'S' number (this can be found on their Student ID card).
Your next of kin email must be recorded on our system to create your own parent account. You can have multiple parent accounts linked to a single student.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot create a parent account using the link above, this is usually due to the student ID number or the next of kin email not matching exactly. For example, there may be an extra 0 in the student reference, or a space at the end. If the details do not match perfectly then it won't let you create an account. Please double check this and if you're still having problems, email us at admissions@leggott.ac.uk
If you are not sure which email address we have recorded, or you would like to change the email address we have for you, you will need to ask your young person to update this for you in college. For data protection, we cannot give out the email address we have on file, but students are able to request an update by visiting the MIS office in college. We appreciate this additional security measure may be frustrating, but it is necessary to prevent the possibility of unauthorised access to a students personal information.
