[sims] Collecting Classes for new Academic Year

[tben2505]

Hi guys,

 

Just wondering what you do in terms of a new academic year, and how you collect from HODs/HOYs the new classes for your pupils (including all the new starters)?

 

I have previously maintained a private google doc with a sheet for each year, and columns for subject requiring sets, but that was before we had SIMS - is there a better way in SIMS?

 

Cheers

Once I have promoted the structure etc I export the set lists for the HoDs and let them tweak them and I re-import.

Yep, exporting the .slk files is the way to go, makes importing a doddle.

Only issue with our school is that the admission process is still extremely lively right up until day 1 in September - so exporting the year groups in the curriculum area for the HODs to set would become out of date quite quickly!

 

Hm, I'll think of something! Cheers guys!

How is that done out of interest? Seem to have forgotten!

curriculum by scheme

 

allocate - export
