MCAS – Enhancements to User Accounts Modules > MyChildAtSchool > User Accounts This release introduces updates to both Students User Accounts and Contacts User Accounts to improve visibility and management of MCAS accounts. New columns, clearer labels, and additional actions make it easier to view active contacts, linked students, and contact priorities, as well as send password resets and activation emails more efficiently.
Options – Simplified Subject Grouping & Import Guidance Enhancements Modules > Options > Options Setup This release removes the need to categorise Subject Group Types as Fixed or Flexible when creating a new setup.

        • Advisory Teacher

wTimetable – Scheduling: Auto Schedule Enhancements for Double and Linked Periods Modules > wTimetable > Scheduling This release improves how double and linked periods are displayed in Step 5: Session Issues of the Auto Schedule process. These periods are now clearly identified in the Block Period column and grouped together within their own single row.
wTimetable – Scheduling: Conflict detection for Staff and Room scheduling enhancement Modules > wTimetable > Scheduling This update builds on the earlier release that introduced Conflict detection for Staff and Room scheduling. Visual indicators will now also appear when a conflict involves two or more year groups, even when the All Year Groups toggle is off (i.e., when the view is filtered to a single year group).
wTimetable – Scheduling: Enhancements to Schedule Order Modules > wTimetable > Scheduling > Actions This release introduces several enhancements to the Timetable Specifications > Schedule Order tab, making it easier for users to manage block priority. These improvements include new columns and the ability to reorder priorities directly within the table.
Reporting – Additional Date Format in Timetable Report Reports > Curriculum > Timetable Users now have a second option to display dates in the Timetable report using the new Day/Month/Year calendar format, consistent with the Room Group, Staff Group, and Student Group Timetable reports.
Examinations – Manage Results: Full Visibility of Exam Board Data Modules > Examination > Manage Results > View > Results We have enhanced the Results Details popup to provide clearer, more detailed visibility of exam results exactly as supplied by awarding bodies.
Administration – Students: Updated Online Access Arrangement Types Students > Student Details > Profile > Access Arrangements The Access Arrangement Type dropdown has been updated in the Online Access Arrangements tab to reflect the latest requirements.
Census – School Spring 2026 Census for PRU Schools Modules > Census > School
For Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) schools in England, the following enhancements have been made to the Pupil Unit Contact Time panel:

Key Updates

  • Use the new checkboxes to bulk update Unit Contact Time. Select individual students one by one, or Select All, then enter a value in the Set Unit Contact Time field and click Apply. Bulk updates no longer rely on a pupil’s age.
  • Filter by any column and utilise the checkboxes to apply bulk updates.
  • The checkboxes can also be used to clear values for selected students by clicking Clear All.
  • Individual contact time can be edited by clicking the pencil icon in the Action column and entering a value directly in the Unit Contact Time cell. Save the change by pressing Enter or clicking outside the row.
  • A new search field is available and searches across all columns in the table.
