Adding individual students:

Go to Account > Classes and click the "Add Student" button. If the button is deactivated, you'll need to add a Maths Class first, by clicking "Add Class".

Adding students in bulk / adding a new class:

You can upload every class in the school at once and it will create the classes and the student accounts at the same time.

If you're a bit daunted by the instructions below, just email support@mathscircle.com and we'll guide you through the process. πŸ˜„

Step 1: Creating a spreadsheet

Prepare a spreadsheet with these columns (MANDATORY):

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Maths Class

  • Year Group

You can also include these columns if you wish (OPTIONAL):

  • Pastoral Class (optional)

  • Gender (optional)

  • Date of Birth (optional)

  • Unique ID (optional)

  • Username (optional)

  • Password (optional)

Please look at our Privacy Notice for more information about the data we need you to provide us and why.

Tip: Save time by including several classes in one long list. The class names and Year groups can be different for different students.

Tip: Usernames and passwords will be generated automatically if you don't supply them. If you do wish to set them, consider matching existing student login details that they are already familiar with.

Tip: We accept yeargroups in different formats. You can use just the number "3" or you can put "Year 3" or you can put "Yr3." If you include "Reception" we will recognise this as "Year 0."

It should look a bit like this:

Step 2: Uploading the spreadsheet

  • Save your spreadsheet as a CSV file.

  • Go to Account (bottom left) > Classes > Upload CSV.

  • Upload your file (or just copy and paste the data)

Follow the onscreen instructions.

Once it completes, you'll be told they've uploaded successfully and be given the chance to save the username labels, a logins spreadsheet and parent letters.

Important: Only add students that are at your school. For data protection reasons, we do not allow schools to share accounts. Read more here.
