Manage class names

Individual pupil’s class names can be changed through the ‘View & Edit pupils’ page, however if you wish to change multiple pupils class name at one time, for example after you have moved all pupils up one year or following a CTF upload this can be done in the manage pupils area.

Click the ‘Manage Class Names’ button. This will open a new page. Select the year group you would like to change the class names for from the drop down menu on the left.

The pupils in that year group will populate in a table below.

Select the pupils you would like to update the class name for, this can be done in two ways.

Click on the names of the pupils you would like to update the class name for, when selected they will be highlighted in blue.

You can also click the ‘Select All’ button to highlight all pupils, you can then deselect those you don’t wish to update the class name for, or you can press the ‘Clear All’ button to deselect all pupils.

The search bar on the top right of the table can be used to type in pupil names, or current class names to make it easier to select groups of pupils.

Using the ‘Select all’ button when there is a search filter on will only select all pupils currently showing through the filter. This makes it much easier to update full classes to a new class name.

When you have selected all the pupils you would like to update the class name for, type the new class name into the ‘Move to’ box. If the new class name already exists within the school it will appear in a drop down menu as you type, where you can select it.

If the class name doesn’t exist, a new class will be created with the class name you have given. 

Click the blue ‘Bulk Update’ button when you have selected the new class name.

A message will appear first, asking you to confirm the changes.

Press ‘Cancel’ to go back without making any changes to the class names. 

Press 'Continue' to change the class name.

To change class names in a different year group, select the new year group from the drop down menu and repeat the above process.
