New School Year Setup Step 2 - Off-Roll Leavers

This article outlines the process for off-rolling leavers during the New School Year Setup, including bulk un-enrollment of students, adding destination schools, and generating CTFs. It provides step-by-step instructions and tips for managing leavers efficiently.

This step is required, but you can return to it once completed to make further edits.

How long will it take?

This step takes around 30 minutes to complete, depending on whether you're un-enrolling individual students, how many different destinations you need to add, and whether they are already Linked Organisations

 

Managing your leavers

Go to School > School Structure > School Year Setup. Click on the second step to unenrol the students who are leaving your school in bulk, which helps save you time as you don’t need to end students who are moving on individually via their Student Profile.

Leavers from earlier in the year

Before you get started, on this page you’ll see in the Review section any students who have already left or have been given an end date within the current summer term, for example, if a student emigrated halfway through the year.

Un-enrolling in bulk

To Off-roll your leavers, click the Off-Roll Leavers field.

In the slide over, choose which year group to off-Roll leavers from. This will usually be:

  • your Year 6 if you're a primary
  • your year 11 if you're a secondary
  • your year 13 if you have a post-16 provision

Click the year group to end - this will bring up a list of all students who have not already been marked as leavers.

Keep ticked any students you want to be off-rolled with the same leaving date and leaving reason. If you’re not sure which leaving date or reason to put, please contact the DfE.

Untick any students who will be staying at your school (such as students moving from your nursery to reception, or moving from year 11 to your sixth form).

You can un-enrol any other students in the same way. Just select the year group they are part of and untick every other student in that year group.

Generating CTFs for your leavers

Once you’ve set destination schools, you can generate a CTF with your Leaver’s information. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page.

If you nee to edit any of the student’s information before exporting the CTF, click on their name in the table and click Edit in the slide over. You can then amend the information if incorrect, or add a new enrolment if a student has returned to school after a period of absence.

The CTF will then download to your computer into your default downloads file. Do not open the file.

You can then send the file to the destination outside of Arbor following your school’s policy.
