Once you have set up a new academic year on Complete Maths, your new classes will need to be populated with your pupils. If your pupils are already on the platform, then you can easily promote them into their new classes using their classes in the previous academic year. (If they aren't already on the platform, then head here to find out how to add them individually, or in bulk. )

Using this pupil promotion function means that pupils remain in their classes from the previous academic year, whilst being added to their new ones. This means you keep a perfect record of lesson planning and assessment markbooks for each pupil, in each class, in each academic year!


Here's how you do it:

• Go to the Manage Pupils page (via School Settings for those with School Admin permission).
• Switch to the previous academic year.
• Use the table filters, as well as the search function, to find and select the pupils you wish to move into their new class. We recommend filtering class by class.
• Click Promote to Class and pick the academic year, and class you wish to move these pupils into. Complete the promotion by clicking Promote.
• Change your filters to find and select the next group of pupils you wish to promote.

Once you're finished:

• Switch to the latest academic year, and you'll find the Manage Pupils table populated with those pupils in their new classes.
• Toggle on 'Only Assigned Pupils' in the table filters to show all pupils. Any pupils who haven't been assigned a class in this academic year will appear at the bottom of this list.


You can then add any further pupils you need to individually or as a bulk upload. This process is detailed here.
