Connect to Wonde: Schools without an Existing Wonde Connection
Read What is an MIS integration? to learn more about connecting data from your MIS with Learning Ladders using the Wonde integration.
As your school does not already have a Wonde connection set-up for other third party applications, you will first need to follow the simple steps to install Wonde.
Steps to install Wonde
Step 1
Confirm with us who will take on the role as Wonde Administrator.
Your Wonde Administrator is the person in school who will receive notifications from Wonde and can authorise connect requests from Apps. This is usually an IT Administrator, Business Manager or senior leader).
Step 2
Learning Ladders will email the Wonde support team to explain that your school would like to set-up the connection and will Cc your school's Wonde Administrator.
We will provide Wonde with your school and MIS details so that they can provide instructions for your Wonde Administrator to install Wonde.
Our email to Wonde will create a support ticket in Learning Ladders so that the team can monitor the Wonde Administrator's completion of the Wonde install.
Step 3
Learning Ladders will await confirmation from Wonde that the Wonde Administrator has installed Wonde.
Wonde requires schools outside of the EU to sign a non-EU DPA (Data Processing Agreement). This will be sent by Wone, to be read and signed (and returned to Wonde directly) in order to proceed with the Wonde install.
Once Learning Ladders receive notification that the Wonde install is complete, the following simple steps will be taken to connect Wonde to Learning Ladders.
Steps to connect Wonde with Learning Ladders
Step 1
Learning Ladders will search in the Wonde database for your school.
Step 2
Once your school is located in the Wonde database, we'll request access to your the data in your school's MIS.
Your school's Wonde Administrator will receive an email from Wonde asking them to approve the request to connect with Learning Ladders.
Your Wonde Administrator is the person in school who has previously connected Wonde with other third party applications (this is usually an IT Administrator, Business Manager or senior leader).
During the authorisation process, your Wonde Administrator will be able to see the scope of permissions (the data) that Learning Ladders is requesting to sync.
Permissions include: Students details, including UPN, name, date of birth, year, class, ethnicity and any particular attributes such as SEN or EAL. Parents details (only those linked to students within your MIS), including name and email address.
Until your Wonde Administrator authorises the request sent by Wonde, set-up will not be able to progress.
Step 3
Learning Ladders receive a notification from Wonde once the Wonde Administrator in your school has authorised the integration.
Learning Ladders receive a notification from Wonde once the Wonde Administrator in your school has authorised the integration.
Note: The data from your MIS is not syncing with Learning Ladders until Learning Ladders completes steps 4 & 5.
Step 4
Learning Ladders will enable the MIS integration feature in your Learning Ladders URL.
(Please allow 1-2 working days after authorisation for this to happen).
This will create an additional setting in your Admin settings: under 'MIS Integration'.

Learning Ladders will email the person who requested the MIS integration to inform them that the MIS integration is complete and that data from your school's MIS is syncing with Learning Ladders.
We recommend that your Learning Ladders Admin user spot checks classes, students and parents to ensure the synchronisation has been successful and is accurate.
If you notice anything unexpected about the data from the synchronisation, it is important to report this immediately so that we can address this.
The integration will update daily, updating the student/parent data in Learning Ladders from the changes in your MIS.
Contact details for support:
We will contact your Learning Ladders Lead at the end of the Summer Term to disable the integration ahead of migration. Once migrated, the integration easily be connected again to continue syncing for the new academic year.
