Prepare the placement workspace

  1. Step 1. Open Year & Records → Promotion. The workspace is labelled Year-end classes.
  2. Step 2. Check the academic year, classes and pupil counts.
  3. Step 3. Review the suggested destination for every pupil. Do not assume all suggestions are approved decisions.
  4. Step 4. Use the class filters and bulk tools to work through groups, then check individual exceptions.

Choose each pupil’s next position

Teaching staff may propose decisions while a separate authorized account commits the year-end change. Check the reviewed status, target class availability and capacity guidance before continuing.
