Website QR codes for schools

A school QR code links a paper letter or gate poster to whatever you host online — the newsletter, the parent portal, a permission form, or the events calendar. One scan and a busy parent is there, instead of typing a long school-website URL one-handed at the school gate. Paste the link below to make one free.

Schools fight a constant battle with paper: letters lost in book bags, portals parents never log into, permission slips that come back late. A QR code shortcuts all of it. Print one on the letter or the gate poster and a parent scans straight to the newsletter, the portal login, or a digital permission form they can complete on their phone in the playground. Point one code per destination, or use a dynamic code so the same gate poster can follow the term — open evening this week, sports day next.

What a school code commonly points at

  • The weekly newsletter — a code on letters home means parents always have the latest, even if paper's lost.
  • The parent portal — drive logins for attendance, reports and messaging.
  • Permission and consent forms — a digital form a parent completes on the spot beats a returned slip.
  • Open-evening and event pages — a gate poster that sends parents to the details.

Make and place your school code

From a link to a letter or gate poster:

    The generator builds the code instantly in your browser.

  3. 3

    Download as SVG or PDF

    Vector prints sharp on a letter and a large gate poster alike.

  4. 4

    Caption the action

    “Scan for this week's newsletter” tells parents exactly what opens.

Pair with a parent text

Send the same link by SMS for parents who'd rather tap than scan. Use a dynamic code so a single printed gate poster can be repointed across the term without reprinting.
