Go to Office > Reports > Pupil Labels or Staff Labels, depending on your requirement – the process is identical for both.
Similar to managing the Pupil List, you can use Filters to determine which students will be on your labels. You can filter by year, class, or other demographic data to adjust your selection.
Next, head to Display Options to choose how the labels will be printed:
Adjust the Label Sheet Size to correspond with the rows and columns of your printable labels displayed on the screen.
Customise the information that appears on your labels using Fields To Display. For instance, you can set the first row to display 'Parent or carer of:' as a Free Text Field, and the second row to show the Pupil Name. You can leave rows empty by selecting Free Text Field and leaving the text box blank.
You also have the option to make specific rows bold and align the text as desired.
Once your settings are ready, click Refresh to apply them to the labels.
If you intend to print them again later, you can save your labels as an office report by clicking Refresh + Save as Office Report.
When you're content with the labels, click the 'Print' button to generate reports (please note that the usual print logo on the red bar won't retain the correct formatting.)
Change your Margins from your browser's print preview (setting to none will allow the labels to align correctly).
NB: Margins = None and Scale = 100 is a good start, but different printers and labels will format differently so be sure to try a few single page test runs before running for the whole school!
