The Download Student List allows you to download data into a PDF or Excel file. This includes student data and demographic information, consents, enrolment data, contact information, attendance statistics and guardian user information.
The Download Student List button appears all over the site wherever you might want to quickly get student data, such as in a Trip or in student Enrolments.
As with all areas of Arbor, staff members can only see the information that they have permission to view.
When you click the Download Student List button, you can choose which data to download into a student list, and in which order.
How to use the feature
First, select the cohort of students you would like to consider. You can select Current, Former or Future students, or a combination.
Next, use the search on the left-hand side to search for any columns you would like to include in your student list table.
To select a column, click the column title and drag and drop it into the Added Columns section on the right-hand side of the page.
To amend the title of a column, click the pencil icon.
In the slide over, amend the title. From here you can also choose what, if anything, displays in the summary row of the table.
To reorder your columns, click the column titles and drag and drop them into the right order in the Added Columns section on the right-hand side of the page.
Next, add a sorting if needed. this determines what order results will display in. Click the 'and also show...' link to add sorting.
In the slide over, select the column that will determine the sorting.
You can then choose whether the results will be sorted A-Z (lowest to highest if numerical) or Z-A (highest to lowest if numerical).
The final step is to add a collation if needed. This will group results together based on the criteria you select. If you select year groups, all your students in year 6 will be grouped together. In the example below, collation by year group combined with the sorting by name means all the year 6 students will display together, and the students in each year section will be sorted alphabetically by name.
You can download the list to Excel or PDF by clicking the green buttons at the bottom of the page!
Please note: Only information that you normally have access to view will be output. Any fields you do not have permission to view will be greyed out.

Great, but would be really helpful if you can filter on admissions by the status of the admission, i.e. to enable a list to be downloaded which DOES NOT include the withdrawn students. Or by included this as a field in the report, so that when you download it to excel you can easily sort and delete these rows and then you can see those that have accepted the place and those that have still not replied to accept the place.
Hi Penny, thanks for commenting!
Although admission status is not currently a field in the Student List report feature, we'd really appreciate it if you fed this back to our product team by submitting this idea here: https://support.arbor-education.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360008596757-Submit-Product-Feedback-here-
Right now, the best way to get a list of these students grouped by whether they have accepted a place or not would be to go to Students > Applicants > select the intake season. If you click Applicants on the left-hand side you can see all the applicants for the current season.
You can then click the Status column header to sort them by status, then download the list to excel or live feed to delete out any rows you don't need.
I'd like to download multiple classes into the same document. Currently, it would seem I have to download each group seperately, then script to copy the data from each into a main document with a worksheet per class.
Have a missed something? Also, being able to list students with an image would be great for the new classes.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for commenting!
If you go to School > Programmes > Courses > 2020/2021 courses and Registration forms you can download from this page all into one document. Alternatively, you can use the Custom Report Writer module to create your own student list and pull through the fields you need.
At the moment you can't include your student photos from the student list option, we'd really appreciate it if you fed this back to our product team by submitting this idea here: https://support.arbor-education.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360008596757-Submit-Product-Feedback-here-
Let me know if you need anything else!
Would be good if you could download student address line by line as well as full postal address, just like how you can with Guardian
