Before you continue
Only an authorised school owner or administrator with Class preview access can use this screen. Use invented school data while testing. Do not enter real children's records.
- Enter the school name. Choose who manages it and whether it is a day school, boarding school, or both.
- Select every board or curriculum that applies. Choose Early years / preschool for a nursery. Press Save school details.
- Add an academic year name and its start and end dates. Dates include both days and must not overlap another year. Check them before pressing Add academic year.
- Choose the academic year and class or age group. Enter a section name, such as A, then press Add section. Repeat for your other groups.
Saved years and sections appear above their forms and remain after you reload. Editing or deleting them is not available yet. Adding a section does not enrol students or create a timetable.
If another administrator changes school details while your page is open, your save is refused. Reload, review the latest details, and enter your changes again. Duplicate year or section names are refused.
