Move up a year

Modified on Mon, 25 Sep, 2023 at 1:34 PM

TIP: We recommend updating your pupils via CTF import. This will update pupils year groups and it will no longer be necessary to move pupils up a year.


Moving pupils up one year is irreversible.


You are able to move all your pupils up to the next academic year in one go. To do this click the ‘Move Pupils Up One Year’ button. This will bring up a warning message, as pictured below.



Click the ‘Cancel’ button to go back without moving your pupils up a year.


Press the ‘OK’ button to continue and move all pupils up one year. You will be taken back to the administration home page. If you wish to check your pupils after carrying out the function, click ‘Manage pupils’ and then ‘View & edit pupils’. You should see your pupils have moved up one year, click ‘view & edit’ to check the pupils in each year group.


The move all pupils up a year function is only available once per academic year and once carried out will not be available again until the 1st August towards the end of this academic year.


If the function has already been carried out for this academic year a second message will appear showing the staff member username and the date the function was carried out.



If you believe this message has appeared in error, please contact the NFER helpdesk.


If pupils have been uploaded by CTF for this academic year, then the move pupils up a year function will not be available and a second message will appear.



Please note that you will still be able to view and edit pupils who move into years 7, 8 or 9 from the ‘Administration’ page, and view their results and generate reports for them in ‘Classroom tools’.
