Roll Over Student Data

Roll Over Student Data

Before a new academic year begins, you can save time by rolling-over your existing student data from the current year into the next academic year. In Connect, the new academic year is typically launched at the start of July for you to populate with your data. Please note, if you are using our MIS integration you do not need to roll-over in Connect. 

The roll-over will include all Student Data (Student ID, Name, D.O.B., Gender, Prior Attainment), as well as any comparison data you've imported, including Ethnicity, Disadvantage, SEND etc. Any Custom Columns added will also be included in the roll-over however, you can delete these later if you wish. 

You cannot roll-over Year 11 data into Year 12, since there are often large changes to cohorts going from KS4 to KS5, but you can for Year 12 and the rest of KS4. There is also no option to roll-over Teaching Data, as that will vary between year groups. 

Roll-Over Guide

Please see our video guide, or step by step guide below: 
​
​
​
To roll-over your students, first navigate to the Cohorts page located under the Data Management tab. 


In the Cohorts page, click +Add Year Group in the relevant academic year.

This will open the Add Year Group wizard. Follow the instructions in the wizard to select your year group and Prior Attainment type. In the third step it will ask you to prepare your data and if you have a year group that can be rolled-over, you can click Yes, Roll-Over in the red box: 

Please note if the red box is greyed out, this is because you have no applicable data that can be rolled-over for that year group.
 


After pressing the roll-over button, the import wizard will skip to the end and you can press Finish.
