Import students from CSV

Before you start​

  • Role required: Admin
  • Setup needed: School structure must be configured so year groups / classes exist

Steps​

  1. Go to Bulk import and select Students.
  2. Select Download template to get the CSV with all supported columns and a sample row.
  3. Fill in the CSV. Required columns: first_name, last_name, email, date_of_birth, gender, year_group.
  4. Drop the completed file onto the upload area or select Browse.
  5. 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)
  6. Fix all Error rows and re-upload if needed.
  7. 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.
