Create a group

The Group Management section allows you to create and edit custom groups of pupils which can be used to filter the ‘Enter data’, ‘View results’ and ‘Generate reports’ sections. Using this feature you can create groups of pupils (such as sets, or pupils receiving additional support) and view and analyse their results separately from the rest of their year group or class. Users with ‘Teacher’ or ‘AdminTeacher’ permissions will be able to use the Group Management functionality.

To begin, enter NFER Classroom tools, select the NFER Tests Analysis Tool and select appropriate class(es), year group(s) or key stage(s) you would like to select pupils from to create your group. Click ‘Group management’.

From the ‘Group management’ menu, select ‘Create New Group’. On this page, you will see all pupils listed based on your selection on the NFER Tests Analysis Tool page (in this case, year 3 was selected, so all pupils in year 3 are displayed).

Enter your preferred group name in the ‘Group name’ box. This will be prefixed with your initials and a two digit number.

You can select individual pupils by clicking on their record. When selected the pupil record turns blue.

To clear your selection click ‘Clear all’. To select all listed pupils click ‘Select all’. You can also search for pupils using the search bar. Your search results will update automatically when you begin typing. To undo the search results, delete the text in the box or click the x button in the corner of the text box.

This group will now be available in ‘Enter data’, ‘View results’ and ‘Generate reports’ menus.
