This article outlines the Migration process for schools with a Wonde MIS integration. For a full overview of the 2026 migration, see Migration 2026.

Process with a MIS Integration

📅 Migration Starts: 1st August 2026

When you log in from 1st August 2026, you'll see a “Welcome Back” message.

You’ll have two options:

• Not Ready Yet – Postpone

• I Am Ready – Migrate
  

1.  Download data from Assessment Summary and Insights in EYFS and KS1+/Grade 1+.
   
   ❌ You CANNOT:

• Download student lists from the platform
  

• Use any Learning Ladders functionality (teachers will have no access)
  
  

Choosing “I Am Ready - Migrate”

You’ll see a “Congratulations, you have migrated” message.

🔄 Reconnect Your MIS Sync

1. Click “Contact Support to re-enable the sync.”
   
   

2. This opens an email – please confirm:
   
   

• Your MIS has rolled over to the 2026/27 academic year

• You're ready to reconnect
  

Until the sync is re-established, your dashboard will show all students from 2025/26, but 0 Classes and 0 Groups.

As far as we are aware. all other MIS providers share leavers data, as long as the leavers field has a leavers date. 

Next Steps

There are 3 next steps you may wish to update to ensure your Learning Ladders is up to date for 2026/27.

1. Add Groups

Add Groups

Important: The Wonde MIS Integration does not currently sync Groups.

Your groups will be cleared after migration. All data is saved for the groups for previous years and can be viewed when choosing the prior academic selector. If you choose not to copy over last year's groups they are simply archived in the system. 

👇 You have two options:

Option 1: Copy Last Year’s Groups

• Contact support@learningladders.info to reuse previous groupings. We can copy these over from last year for you. You can then rename the group in Classes & Groups > Groups e.g. Year 1 Arabic A & Islamic A to Year 2 Arabic A & Islamic A.

  The only way to remove students from a group is in Classes & Groups > Groups. You cannot use the student export file to remove a student from a group.

  Remember to add the relevant teachers to the group in Classes & Groups > Groups.

Option 2: Import new Groups via Student Data Export

1. Go to Students > Import Students > Download Student Data
   
2. In the file, enter the group name each student belongs to.
   
• You can assign up to 9 groups per student using this method.

➕ Add More Than 9 Groups?

• Click on Students, search for the student, mark the checkbox to the left of their name

• Click 'Select Action' > Add to group

You cannot use the import file to remove a student from a group.  This can only be done in Classes & Groups > Groups. 

Assign teacher users to the groups by clicking on Classes & Groups > Groups > View and then 'Add Teachers'.

If you have copied over last year's groups then the teachers will still be assigned to these groups unless you amend them. 

Review Student Attributes

The Wonde MIS Integration syncs only default student attributes from your MIS. Custom attributes must be added manually.

Default student attributes include gender, ethnicity, SEN (SEN codes), EAL (yes/no only), PP (yes/no), LAC (yes/no).
The integration will only sync these responses if the field is populated in your MIS.

Student attributes are linked to the academic year. This means:

1. Any changes made for 2026/27 will not affect attributes saved for 2024/25.
   
2. Students will retain their 2025/26 attributes unless manually updated for the new year.
   

If you need to remove a default attribute from a student, you will need to remove the default attribute from the student in your MIS.  When the sync next runs, it will remove the attribute from the student in Learning Ladders.

To remove a custom attribute from an individual student, go to Students > find the student > edit student and remove the attribute.

➕ How to Add an Attribute to a Student

Default Attribute

To add a default attribute to a student, you can add this to the student in your MIS. When the sync next runs, the student will be updated.

We are aware that iSAMS is currently unable to share SEN codes with providers.  The SEN code will need to be applied to students using the import/manual process below.

Custom Attribute

You must first create the custom attribute in Settings > Settings > Custom Attributes.  Learn more.

You can add a custom attribute to a student in two ways. Learn more.

Update Users

Users will remain in the site after it has migrated. As all classes have been removed, you will need to update the classes you'd like users to have access to.

➕ How to Add a Class for a User

It is not currently possible to assign classes to users using the Wonde MIS Integration.

To add classes for a user:

1. Go to Settings

2. Click on Users

3. Click Export Users

4. Open the file from your downloads
   
   

5. All users have no classes assigned to them. 
   To assign a class, write in the class name they require access to in the fields Class 1, Class 2 etc. 
   
   - Update your users after you have reconnected your MIS sync/ imported students.
   - Admin users have access to all classes and student data across the site.
   
   
   

6. The export file can only be used to add classes to users.  To remove access to a class, you need to do this manually in Settings > Users > View and then unselect the class from the drop down menu 'Teaches classes'.
   
   
   
7. To change a user's permission from 'Teacher' to 'Admin',  you must manually edit this in Settings > Users > View and then change their role using the drop down beneath 'Role'.
