To complete these activities the Establishment Administrator role is required.

At the beginning of the academic year, it is necessary to complete some minor administrative steps on NOA. Follow the checklist below to ensure your account is ready for the new school year:

• Check the expiry date of subscriptions or unused tokens. Tokens expire 12 months following purchase and NOA will always use your oldest tokens first. The number of tokens available, and any active subscriptions are displayed on the NOA homepage. The expiry date(s) can be found in the Account details page, which is accessible via the Administration menu. For information about purchase options or to make a purchase, visit our website.

• Move any existing Year 6 learners up to Year 7 via the Year Groups page.

• Update remaining learners’ year groups. This can be achieved by either of the following methods:
  • Re-import your learners, either by CTF or by Excel template. Learners who are already in the system will be recognised and moved to their new year group allocation. Learners who were not already uploaded to NOA will be added as new records.
  • Continue to move your existing learners up via the Year Groups page beginning with the oldest year group. Import any new learners via CTF or Excel template.

• Update class names. When learners are moved up a year, class names are reset.

• Set your learner selection. At the beginning of a new academic year, learner selection is reset.
