In Classroom Monitor, all classes and groups are simply referred to using the term 'groups'. Access to the groups that you teach is generally setup centrally; either through synchronisation with your school MIS system (prior to September 2023) or by your school's Classroom Monitor admin user.


Group Management enables you to edit the groups that you can access:

  1. Select the teachers who can access a group.
  2. Set up a new group of pupils.
  3. Add or remove pupils from a user-created group.


Accessing Group Management

Group Management can be accessed when you are logged in as a teacher/SLT or admin user. The functionality is the same in both areas; the only distinction being that the admin login gives access to all groups in school whilst using your teacher login will only allow you to view and edit groups that have been assigned to you.


To access Group Management via a teacher login, select Management --> Group Management on the blue menu bar.


To access Group Management via the admin login, select Management then Group Management.


When you enter Group Management, you will see a list of all groups in school (admin user) or just the groups that you are set to have access to (teacher user).


Adding new groups and editing existing groups


At this point you can choose whether to create a new group by pressing the 'Add New' button or edit a group's pupils or teachers by pressing the 'Edit' icon in any group's row. You are then taken through the same process as detailed below.

Group Name: The group name should be entered / edited in this box. All group names must be unique in your school.

Group visible to: All teachers who need access to this group should be ticked in the 'Can Access Group' column. One of these teachers must be designated in the 'Is The Group Teacher' column- this is for reporting purposes only.


You should press the 'save' button to save any changes at this point.


The 'Remove All Pupils From Group' button is useful if you want to remove pupils but don't want to delete the group.


The 'Edit Pupil List' button will take you to the screen below. This list all of the pupils currently in the selected group. If you have just created a new group, it will say 'No records Found'.

To remove a pupil from the group, you can just press the red cross in their row. Please note that this only stops them appearing in this group, it doesn't delete the pupil or any of their saved assessments from Classroom Monitor.


At the bottom of the screen above is an 'Add New Pupils' button which will take you to the screen shown below.


You will see a list of all of the pupils in the school who are not currently in the selected group.

Pupils can be searched for using any of the search fields at the top of the screen. If searching for more than one pupil it is usually easiest to search for pupils by year group or choose group name and select their class.

Click the tick box next to each pupil's name to select them before clicking 'Add to Group'.

This group will now be available in all areas of Classroom Monitor for the selected teachers.
