Import students from CSV
Before you start
- Role required: Admin
- Setup needed: School structure must be configured so year groups / classes exist
Steps
- Go to Bulk import and select Students.
- Select Download template to get the CSV with all supported columns and a sample row.
- Fill in the CSV. Required columns:
first_name,last_name,email,date_of_birth,gender,year_group. - Drop the completed file onto the upload area or select Browse.
- Review the row table:
- Create — will be imported
- Skip — already linked or email already present
- Error — fix before committing (missing value, bad format, duplicate in file)
- Fix all Error rows and re-upload if needed.
- Select Commit when the file is clean.
After commit
Students with an email address receive an invitation (48-hour expiry). Invite failures never fail the import — check the batch history for skipped invites.
