Password requirements and tips
Student passwords must be a minimum of 10 characters.
It can't be a password you've used before and it cannot contain words such as "archway", your username, or your first or last names.
Tip 1: Don't use a pass"word" use a pass"phrase". Pick 4 random words that you can remember easily, make a story out of those 4 words that you can always remember:
For example: If you got a kitten on a Tuesday and there was sunshine, and your favourite food is chocolate. Try using: kittentuesdaysunshinechocolate as a password. It's very long, however it's easy to remember, and will have a higher strength and greater level of entropy than a pass"word" would likely have.
Tip 2: Now that you've got an easy to remember pass phrase, add in some complexity:
Capitalise each word to make it: KittenTuesdaySunshineChocolate. Maybe you got the kitten on the 31st, so you can make it Kitten31TuesdaySunshineChocolate. Lastly the sunshine and chocolate might have made you happy, so you can add the final bit of complexity with a smiley face to create the impenetrable passphrase of: Kitten31TuesdaySunshine:)Chocolate
Tip 3: Check your passwords on https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords to ensure your password isn't on a known list of weak passwords.
Tip 4: Check your password strength at https://www.security.org/how-secure-is-my-password/ to get an idea of how hard it would be for someone to crack your password, it'll also give you suggestions for your password on how to make it stronger.
Tip 5: For more advanced password management use a password manager app and generate strong unique passwords for each account you have. Avoid using the same password more than once if you can help it
Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)
Multi factor authentication is an essential security mechanism to protect your account, it requires a personal phone or tablet.
Once you get to Y9 you'll have a lesson on cyber security, normally around January/February, and MFA will be enforced on your account. You'll be asked to setup MFA the first time you attempt to login to something that uses Microsoft 365 as the login service from home.
You will need the "Microsoft Authenticator" app from either the Google Play or Apple app stores on to your phone or tablet.
If your parents control which apps you can install on your device, please ask them to authorise the app in their parental control app. If by Y9 you don't have a phone or tablet, come and see IT services and we can set you up with an alternative solution.
If you get stuck and need assistance, please see IT services and we'll walk you through the process. Ideally bring your phone with you and have the Microsoft Authenticator app installed in advance from the links below.
Apple App Store: Microsoft Authenticator on the Apple App Store
Android Play Store: Microsoft Authenticator on the Google Play Store

Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 is the name that encompasses everything from Microsoft Office online, such as your school email in Outlook, and OneDrive which is a storage area personal to you. It is sometimes referred to as just "365", Office 365", or "Microsoft Online".
Satchel One
If you have problems logging in to Satchel One on a desktop or laptop, follow these steps, and read the information above regarding logging in to Microsoft 365:
1. Make sure you are clicking "Sign in with Microsoft" on the satchel login window. A new window will appear that you'll enter your school email into.
2. If you have a home Microsoft/Outlook/Live/Hotmail account you may have problems logging in via the Microsoft link due to cached/stored details of your personal account on your device. To work around this, right click the link above and select "Open in new InPrivate window" and then proceed to login as normal.
Edulink
School code is arch. As students you need to click on the "Microsoft" button underneath the login form, a pop up will then ask for your school email, followed by your school password.
In Edulink you can see your timetable, school reports, exam timetable (if applicable), a record of your catering purchases as well as your current balance and any achievement awards you've been given.
