Create a CTF, CML or CMJ export

Generating a CTF

Please note if a student is leaving full-time education you don't need to generate a CTF for them. They will be unenrolled at the end of the year when you complete the New School Year Setup process.

Generating a CTF for an individual student

To generate a CTF for a student if, for example, they are moving to another school, go to the student's profile. At the bottom of the student's profile, there will be an Admin Functions section.

Select where the CTF will be going, then follow the steps to create the CTF. 

Top Tip: If creating a CTF for the Reception Baseline assessment, select Unknown destination. You then won't need to select a school.

Can't select the right school?

  • Go to School > Linked Organisations > Educational Institutions to see if the right details are in there for the school you want to send to. If they're not you can add them.
  • Check to make sure the school you want to select is actually open and you have the correct LA number and DfE number from https://www.get-information-schools.service.gov.uk/. If the information here is incorrect, please ask the other school to get in touch with the DfE.

How to send the CTF

Please see this article: How do I send the CTF to the destination school?

Can we edit the CTF?

It is not possible to edit the CTF once generated. If you need to generate it for a different school for example, you'll need to generate a new CTF with the new destination.

The record of the original CTF will need to remain. It is not possible to delete this.

The school can't import the CTF we generated?

In the 2nd step of the CTF export, you will see the option to choose your Address Format.

Some MISs can have issues with importing student addresses from CTFs with the address format 'Address Lines', causing them to need to add the address manually. If a school has trouble importing, please try the BS7666 address format.

Please note that this option is only available on CTFs, not with CMJ, CML or ULN, as these have not had this issue when importing.

 

Generating a CML or CMJ

Generating a CMJ for an individual or previous student
