Set up Academic Reporting for a school

Who can use this: Academy-wide staff administrators with Academic Reporting configuration permission.

Before you start

Agree the school’s reporting policy, academic structure, staff duties and family access before preparing the first release.

Set up Academic Reporting for a school

  1. Open Academic reporting setup and enable preparation for the intended school. Choose the default reviewed or teacher-led workflow.
  2. Set up academic years, cohorts, subjects and course mappings, then create a reporting cycle and select its definitions.
  3. Assign preparation, tutor, review and publication duties. Enable publication only when the school is ready to release approved reports.

What happens next

The school can prepare reports within the configured responsibilities; enabling the feature does not publish anything.

Troubleshooting

Publication is a separate switch from preparation. Pausing publication leaves issued reports readable, while disabling preparation also restricts reporting readers. Check these settings before investigating missing family reports.
