We’ve made it easier to bring your pupil data into the Boxall Profile® Online, now you can import directly from your school management system using a CTF file.
Please be aware that while using the CTF import is the fastest way to add your pupils to the Boxall Profile® Online, this process will not automatically allocate pupils to their specific classes within the platform.
Once the import is complete, your pupils will appear in the system, but you will need to manually assign them to the correct class groups to ensure teachers can access their specific cohorts and begin assessments.
What is a CTF?
A CTF (Common Transfer File) is a standard file format used across UK schools to securely transfer essential student data, like:
- Personal details (name, date of birth, gender)
- School history (previous schools attended)
- Attendance records
- Assessment results (e.g., SATs)
- Special educational needs information (if applicable)
When a student moves schools, their CTF helps keep vital information intact, ensuring continuity in their learning journey.
Rest assured: Our system only extracts the specific data needed from the CTF file to streamline setup, with no access to any extra information.
How to Import Your Pupil Data:
- Export pupil data as a CTF from your school management system.
- Go to BPO > My EBPs > Import pupil data.
- Select the CTF option and upload your CTF file.
- Check for errors and click import to complete.
