Who this template is for

School Permission Slip Form is built for schools, tutors and course providers who need to enrol people and record permissions in one place.

  • Schools, tutors and course providers working in education & schools.
  • Teams who need to enrol people and record permissions in one place without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing consent forms chased on paper the week before term with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are students, parents and staff — the form asks them 28 questions across 4 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of consent forms chased on paper the week before term and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 18 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 4 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features skip logic: if “Do you give permission for your child to attend?” is No, respondents jump straight to “Medical and emergency” and skip everything in between.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Does your child need to carry medication on the trip?” is Yes, “Medication name, dose and timing” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Does your child have any allergies?” is Yes, “Describe the allergy and treatment” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “How will your child return home?” is Collected by an adult, “Name of the adult collecting” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

Can parents sign on a phone?

Yes — the signature field works with a fingertip, which is why online slips come back the same evening rather than the following week.

How do I chase missing responses?

Filter submissions by class group and compare against your register; only the parents who have not submitted need the reminder.

What about pupils with no consent by the deadline?

The trip leader's export shows exactly who is missing. Keep the No answer as a valid response so a refusal is recorded rather than looking like silence.

How long should we keep the medical details?

Only as long as the trip and any incident follow-up requires. Delete the submissions on a set schedule rather than leaving health data in the workspace.
