How do I add, edit or delete a student?

If your school uses Wonde

If you use Wonde, any new students added to your MIS will be included in the weekly data sync and so no manual adding is necessary. Additionally, the Wonde sync can be triggered to pull across data by the SP or IT Lead as needed:

If your school does not use Wonde

If you usually import students via a CSV but need to add or edit a staff user after the main import, Admin or IT Manager users can do this as follows:

Go to Admin --> Data Management --> Student Data --> Edit

To add a student

Click '+ New Student' and fill in the required data and remember to save!

🚨 Important: Please follow the naming convention being used by your school when adding new students. If you don't use full names, then it's important to create a pseudonym inline with other students to avoid confusing other members or staff. Typically, STEER uses:

First three letter of first name + Initial (if any) + First three letters or last name 

We will automatically display their year group after the name on the platform.

To edit a student

Select the student you need to edit by using the tick box on the left hand side, then click 'edit student'. Make any changes necessary and remember to click save! If you have changed their username, it is very important resend/print any login emails/cards which they may be planning to use.

To remove a student

Once a student has been added via the Wonde or CSV, subsequent syncs or uploads DO NOT remove existing students no longer included in the imports. Any 'mid year' leavers will need to be deleted manually from the STEER platform as follows from the Student Data Record:

• Select the student you need to remove by using the tick box on the left hand side, then click 'remove student'. You will be asked for confirmation. For large batches, the removal may take several seconds to process the request, so please stay on the page until the entries have been deleted.

Note that STEER will automatically anonymise the data of students who have left your school at the end of an academic year and no longer have active accounts, so you typically don't need to manually remove students for that reason. The full anonymisation process on inactive leaver accounts takes place within 6 months of the start of the new academic year.
