How do I move pupils to new classes for the next academic year?

Every year pupils will need to move up to their next class, you will need to be logged in as an admin to do this. 

There are three ways to move pupils:

Wonde - only use if you are already connected

1. If your school uses Wonde just update pupil records on your MIS / SIS and wait overnight.
2. At the start of a new academic year you should delete leavers (from all pupils section) and all groups (settings >options > delete all groups) 
3. Then go to settings > options > configure and select the groups, classes, teachers and pupils you want to be updated, as well as new pupils and teachers that need to be brought over. 
4. Click 'save' then 'sync'.
