This issue straddles being an MIS question, but might have wider implications across one MIS type, so I've opted to post it in the Data forum. An update to legislation in August 2024 made it a requirement for schools to make a backup copy of their Admission and Attendance registers once a month, and keep the backup for six years. Our MIS Arbor only keeps backups on our behalf for 35 days, with no way for us to export these to store for any longer. The additionally tricky part is that there is a strong interpretation IMO of needing to also store all changes/amendments/reasons to the registers as part of these backups. How is everyone else fulfilling the legislation's requirements? In fact, how many of you knew that was a requirement now?

Sorry to necromance this thread, but I'm running into this same issue, and the only difference I've seen is that I'm experiencing the brief "trying to sign you in" screen before and wondered if there was anything to unpick here? ADFS debug logging (admittedly on basic) didn't appear to show an entry for this, and the domain hint only takes it to the adfs logon page.

Seems to have done the trick! Thanks.

Has anyone else tried importing a KS2 results CTF from www.keytosuccess.education.gov.uk this year yet? SIMS gives an error of: The file you are trying to import is version 14.0 which is older than the expected version 15.0 or 16.0 The lady I spoke to at support said I should get in touch with the DFE to get them to upgrade their system, but I've no idea where to even start that process and I don't imagine it would be a quick one! Help?
