What should a student enrolment form ask?

Student details, two contacts with parental responsibility, medical and support needs, and the consents. Two emergency contacts rather than one, because the first is often unreachable at the moment they are needed.

How should schools handle data on an enrolment form?

Collect only what the school actually uses, say what each section is for, and set a retention period. Medical and support information is special-category data and needs a lawful basis recorded before you ask for it.

Can parents sign an enrolment form online?

Yes. A signature question captures a drawn signature with the submission, which covers the consents most enrolment packs need.

Can parents save an enrolment form and finish later?

Yes. Save and resume gives a private link back to the part-completed form, which matters when the medical section needs a prescription or a doctor's number nobody has to hand.

Is this student enrolment form template free?

Yes. Use it, publish it and collect answers on the free plan with no card. Paid plans add things like payments, scheduling, removing our badge and your own domain, but none of them are needed to run this form.

Do I need an account to use it?

You need one to edit and publish, because the form has to live somewhere and the answers have to come back to you. Signing up takes about a minute and does not ask for a card. The people filling your form in never need an account.

Can I change the questions?

All of them. The template is a starting point, not a fixed form: add, remove, reword and reorder anything, change the look, and use logic so people only see the questions that apply to them.

Can I put it on my own website?

Yes. Embed it in a page you already have, or share the link. On a paid plan you can serve it from your own domain so the address says your name rather than ours.

Where do the answers go?

Into your dashboard, where you can read, search and export them as CSV. You can also have each response emailed to you, pushed to another tool with a webhook, or sent to a connected integration.

How long does this form take to fill in?

About 4.5 minutes as it stands, across 11 questions. Every question you cut brings that down, and shorter forms get finished more often.

Student enrolment

Two contacts rather than one, because the second is the one that gets used. Consents are separate blocks so a refusal on one doesn't block the enrolment.

Worth knowing

The welcome screen and the intro text above the first question carry example turnaround times, policies and promises. Rewrite them as yours before you publish — they are the part respondents take literally.
