Moving your class up a year

This guide gives you step-by-step instructions on moving your class up a year, whether your classes remain the same from year to year, or if your school shuffles the classes when moving children up a year into new classes.

If the children in your classes remain the same from year to year, then follow the steps outlined in the Renaming the class section.

If your school shuffles the classes when moving children up a year and into new classes, then follow the instructions in the Moving students between classes section.

If you need to delete a class you can follow the instructions in the Removing data section.

Please refer to the Choosing courses for your classes guide for detailed instructions on choosing the most appropriate course for each of your classes, based on their coding experience.
