Adding new pupils to the system
Importing an ATF

Finding Pre-admission Pupils
After adding, Pre-admission pupils for the next academic year are placed in their appropriate year groups. Pre-ad pupils won't appear in regular pupil lists. To see them, switch on the 'Pre-admissions' button in the Filter Block. For instance, choose 'Reception' from Year group and select 'Pre-admissions'.
Starting Pupils in Your School
Pupils become live on their start date. Alternatively, go to Pupils > Pupils List to manually activate them. In the generated list, tick desired pupils, click 'Pupil Actions', and choose 'Make Live'.
Messaging Pre-admission Parents
To contact pre-admission parents, navigate to Pupils > Pupil List, filter by Pre-admissions, and tick desired pupils. Use 'Pupil Actions' to send an SMS or email.
