About Pupil Custom Groups

The Pupil Custom Groups function enables you to create custom groups, add pupils to these groups and then manage the groups. Pupil and Staff Custom Groups are identical in principle, but one is for groups of pupils only and one is for groups of staff only. These custom groups enable you to set up groups of pupils or staff for specific events or set of events.

Example: If your school is putting on a summer theatre production, e.g. 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', and some pupils from all years are involved, you may wish to create a 'Midsummer Night's Dream' pupil group. This will enable you to easily email the relevant pupils and their parents regarding rehearsals and costumes, for example. In addition, you could set up markbook tasks specific to the play, such as 'Team work' and 'Acting capability', and record and assess the pupils' progress.

Using the Pupil Custom Groups function in 3sysACADEMIC, you can:

• Add pupil custom groups, via the Setup or Pupil modules.
• View existing pupil custom groups.
• Export lists or details of pupil custom groups to MS Excel.
• Edit pupil custom groups.
• Add individual pupils to custom groups, via either the Setup or Pupil modules.
• Delete pupil custom groups.
