Move your existing students to their new class ahead of the new school year

Updated over 4 months ago

If your school has your MIS synced up for automated class management we can push a sync and this will automatically move your students to their new classes.

If you manage your school on Eedi manually there are a couple of ways that you can transfer your students between classes πŸ‘‡

If your class list does not change:

If most of the students remain together in the same groups, you can simply change the class name to represent the new class.

  1. Go to your Settings page and click "Edit" next to the class.

  2. Update the name of the class (and year group if needed).

  3. Click "Update" to save your changes.

If your class lists change quite a bit:

We'd recommend deleting the class and setting up the class as new - don't worry, your students will not be deleted!


​To delete a class:

  1. View All Classes on your Settings page.

  2. Click on the 3 vertical dots next to the class you'd like to delete and select "Delete Class".

πŸ‘‰ Important: If you delete a class you will no longer be able to view results or analytics for assignments completed by the class. Ensure your results have been downloaded before deleting the class.

To create a new class:

  1. Once the class has been deleted you'll need to create your new class.

  2. At the final step of creating your class, you'll see the student upload tool. Here you should enter your students' names in the same way as their existing account lists them. The system will recognise that they're an existing student with the pink "Existing" tag and will add their existing accounts to the class.

If you need to move a small number of students to a different class

If you need to move only a few students to different classes, the easiest way to do this is via the Students table:

  1. Select the class you want to move students from within your class drop-down menu in the left-hand navigation panel.

  2. Go to the Settings page > Students tab.

  3. Use the tick boxes to select which students you want to move.

  4. Click the "Move to class" button.

  5. Select the class(es) and save your changes.
