What to do after checking your 2026 school placement from the CSSPS portal

After checking your 2026 school placement, there are specific steps to take to ensure the student is successfully enrolled in SHS1. In this information-based guide, we provide parents and candidates with valuable suggestions for action.

Many parents often ask what the next steps are after discovering their child’s placement. First, it is important to note that the candidate must be officially placed in a school before any of the following actions can be taken. The placement status is the primary trigger for the entire process.

Once you have confirmed the placement, follow these steps to prepare for enrollment:

1. Prepare your documentation: Print your child’s BECE provisional results slip (either in color or black and white), the official placement form, and the enrollment form along with the school’s prospectus.

   

   • Note: The placement and enrollment forms are only available for download from the portal if the candidate has been successfully placed.

2. Organize your files: Place these three documents into a brown envelope, leaving it unsealed.

3. Gather passport photos: Obtain four copies of your child’s recent passport-sized photographs.

4. Visit the Junior High School (JHS): Take the documents in your envelope to the JHS your child attended. Hand the placement and enrollment forms to the head teacher for assistance with completion.

   

   • Note: While some parents or students may fill out the forms themselves, the head of the school must still stamp and sign the student’s passport picture to verify their identity. The headteacher will attach the photo to the enrollment form before returning the documents to you.

5. Visit the Senior High School (SHS): Once the JHS process is complete, take the documents in your brown envelope to the SHS where your child has been placed.

6. Verify admission status: Upon arrival, check the school notice board to see if your child’s name appears on the official admission list provided by the Ghana Education Service.

7. Complete the admission process: Meet with the SHS headteacher to finalize the enrollment. You may need to wait in a queue for this stage.

   • Note: If the school has implemented an online registration system, you may not need to visit the campus in person to complete the enrollment process.
