Course overview

This course covers procedures for allocating students to curriculum structures, including bands and classes, and for making adjustments to class memberships both for the current academic year and the following. It also deals with three main aspects of printing academic data: student lists including class lists, student analysis, and timetable printing.


Who is it for?

Staff involved in the allocation of students to teaching groups. An understanding of the curriculum structures and administrative procedures used in the school would be helpful but is not essential.

Benefits of attending

Learn how to manage and monitor teaching group assignments.
