The new First News Digital works in any web browser on computers, laptops and tablets. There is no app to install. The iOS and Android app stops working after Thursday 17 December, when the previous version ends, so switch your tablets before then.

On each device pupils use, open the web browser, for example Safari or Chrome.
Go to the Pupil login page.
Bookmark it as "First News".
Pupils log in with their username and password.

Pupils use a simplified login page designed for children. It is not the same page teachers use.
