| School Workforce: XML Upgrade for Additional Allowances | Modules > Census > School Workforce | The XML file option has been improved to ensure that when an individual has a contract with multiple roles (for example as Class Teacher and SENCO) and receives an additional payment (such as SEN Allowance), this is recorded accurately for Census data. |
| Administration – Students: New Managed Move Section | Students > Actions > Process Leaver(s) | A Managed Move section has been created for schools in England to assist with processing applicable school leavers.

| Exams – Exam Seating Plans Report to display Colour-Coded Special Candidate Requirements | Reports > Examination > Organisation > Exam Seating Plans |

| Administration – Students: Improved Workflow for New Contact Process | Students > Student Details > Profile > Contacts |

| Administration – New Teacher Timetable Configuration for Student App & Student Portal | Config > Student Portal > Timetable | A new Timetable configuration setting has been added to give schools control over whether teacher timetable information is shown in the Student App and Student Portal. Previously, this information was always visible by default; schools can now choose to hide it if preferred. |
| Options – Quick Reports: New ‘Final Allocated Subjects’ | Reports > Quick Reports > Options |
We have introduced a new data item, Final Allocated Subjects, which appears as a set of columns showing the choices assigned to each student in an Options Setup. These columns directly reflect the allocations displayed in the Pupil Review tab of Timetable Patterns. These fields can be used in Web Merge to create accurate personalised Word or PDF documents that can then be published to students (via Student Portal) and parents (via MCAS). |

|
Access to behaviour data has been improved for teachers using Seating Plan and users can now filter how behaviour points are displayed using a new Settings option. What’s New Left-clicking a student tile opens a sidebar with student photo, name, current behaviour score and a list of behaviour events.
