Adding new pupils to the system
There are various ways to include new pupils in the system. For detailed instructions, refer to the 'How to Add Pupils' guide.
Importing an ATF
- Go to Admin > Import > Import Wizard and click 'Choose File'.
- Locate the ATF file and upload it.
- You'll be taken to the Import page, where ATF contents are displayed. Pupils are listed alphabetically by surname with the status of 'NEW'.
- Important: Set a 'Start Date' by clicking the box. If no date is added, pupils will be loaded as live with the current import date.
- Click 'Continue' to load pupils as Pre-admissions.
Finding Pre-admission Pupils
After adding, Pre-admission pupils for the next academic year are placed in their appropriate year groups. Pre-ad pupils won't appear in regular pupil lists. To see them, switch on the 'Pre-admissions' button in the Filter Block. For instance, choose 'Reception' from Year group and select 'Pre-admissions'.
Starting Pupils in Your School
Pupils become live on their start date. Alternatively, go to Pupils > Pupils List to manually activate them. In the generated list, tick desired pupils, click 'Pupil Actions', and choose 'Make Live'.
Messaging Pre-admission Parents
To contact pre-admission parents, navigate to Pupils > Pupil List, filter by Pre-admissions, and tick desired pupils. Use 'Pupil Actions' to send an SMS or email. For more details, refer to the 'How to Send Emails' guide.
