Adding Students to EYFS

Adding Students to EYFS

Students can be added to Learning Ladders' EYFS module through an import file, manually or synced by an MIS Integration. 

If an active MIS integration has been set-up in KS1+ then this will automatically sync pupils into the EYFS module and update. The MIS integration is controlled from 'Settings' in KS1+.

  • Your pupils will automatically update based on their details in the pupil file

Please be aware the parent will be associated to the child/pupil they are on the same row as. You will be able to see this in 'Students'> 'View' and within the Ladders at Home 'Parents' tab

Codes for year groups in EYFS are:                                                                                                         
PS - Pre School 0-3 years
N- Nursery 3 & 4 years
R- Reception 4 & 5 years

Please find a template below.

Tip: Your classes will always default back to those in the MIS file import, if you amend your classes within Learning Ladders any new MIS file will over-ride your class changes.
