Rank students for summative assessments

You can rank your students for their assessments.

How do we turn on ranking for marksheets?

There are three ways to use this feature, depending on which marksheets you want ranking to be enabled for.

All marksheets

Switch this column on for all marksheets (including Data Collection marksheets) from your Marksheet Settings. Staff can toggle this to off using the marksheet filters each time they access a marksheet if needed.

Only some assessments

Switch ranking on by default for only certain assessment by going to Students > Assessments > Annual Policy > Manage Assessments. Select the assessment, then click into the Show RANK order? field and change this to Yes.

Have staff choose to enable on each marksheet

Have staff click into the filters on their marksheets to enable the RANK order columns - you can see how teachers can do this here, and how administrators and SLT can do this here

How does ranking work on the marksheets?

On the marksheet, you'll see a Rank column for each assessment period, with a number assigned to each student. 

If students are working at the same grade, they'll be assigned the same rank and the next number will be skipped. So for example below, two students have rank 1 so the next student is given rank 3, skipping 2.

Top Tip: Click the column header to sort the students by rank.
