Xporter now supports the Go4Schools MIS which means schools using Go4Schools can authorise their MIS connection directly in the Xporter portal, making setup simpler.
What’s new?
Go4Schools has been added as a selectable MIS option in the Xporter authorisation flow. This means Xporter now supports Go4Schools MIS sync configuration and database generation for invited and onboarded schools.
Key benefits:
  • Enables schools using Go4Schools to authorise their MIS directly in Xporter
  • Reduces complexity with an authorisation flow that supports Go4Schools sync configuration
  • Improves reliability through automatic database generation during onboarding
Its now easier to fix incorrect or missing parent and staff contact details directly in T2P! This function ensures important messages reach the right people especially when timing matters most.

  • A new Edit button within Contact Details for both parent and staff contacts
  • Any user with Contacts permission can update details
  • Real‑time editing of email addresses and mobile numbers
  • Built‑in validation ensures at least one valid contact method is always present
  • Fully supports Welsh language settings as well
Key Benefits
This update gives schools:
  • The ability to instantly correct incorrect or missing parent contact details
  • Confidence to respond quickly to safeguarding or time‑critical situations
  • Improved reliability for attendance, behaviour and emergency follow‑ups

With this update, schools and all relevant stakeholders will now receive immediate, clear communication when an MIS migration is booked, helping everyone stay aligned and prepared.

Key benefits:
  • Removes the need for schools to manually inform their connected partners
  • Helps Relying Parties prepare earlier for changes that may affect their integrations
  • Reduces the risk of service disruption during MIS migrations

Onboarding non MIS schools seamlessly

Non MIS schools can now be invited and set up to use T2P through the standard authorisation flow, making it possible for more schools to begin using the platform without relying on an MIS integration.
What's new?
Non MIS schools can now complete the same invitation and authorisation steps as MIS connected schools. Previously, this process was only fully supported for schools with an MIS integration. With this update, non MIS schools can be invited, authenticated and set up to share data through CSV upload without needing an MIS connection.
Key benefits:
  • Opens T2P to schools that do not use a Management Information System
  • Removes onboarding barriers and supports a wider range of school setups
  • Ensures CSV data is validated and synchronised to provide a consistent data experience
  • Uses a single, simplified onboarding process for all schools

We’ve introduced a new feature that standardises the monitoring provision type for early SEN identification in Arbor. This helps ensure consistent SEN data for reporting and filtering.
***
Available to: All users with Arbor schools in Assembly
What’s new?
New Monitoring provision type for SEN tracking:
We’ve added and standardised the Monitoring provision type for proactive SEN identification in Arbor. Pupils marked as Monitoring in Arbor will now map to N in Assembly’s SEND reporting.
Updated reports:
This update applies to
  • Characteristics > SEND
  • All other reports that use the SEN provision filter
Key Benefit(s)
This ensures consistent SEN data across reports for better accuracy and insight.
We’ve improved how pupil demographic data is displayed across academic years, ensuring reports are more accurate and reliable. This update ensures that characteristics such as Pupil Premium, FSM, and EAL are correctly tied to the academic year shown in all reports.
What's New?
Accurate group history in reports
: Reports now link pupils to the correct academic year based on their group membership enrolment history. This means demographic data like Pupil Premium, FSM, and EAL is accurately associated with the year displayed.
Improved Characteristics report
: The Characteristics report has been enhanced to reflect these changes, alongside the new feature that lets you toggle between past academic years.
Updates across all demographic reports
: We’ve also updated all other reports that display pupil demographic data for the selected academic year, resolving previous inconsistencies for better data accuracy.
Key Benefit(s):
  • Get a clear and reliable view of key characteristics like Pupil Premium, FSM, and EAL across past academic years.
  • Confidently analyse trends and make informed decisions based on consistent data.
This release is an improvement to include default national benchmarking in more reports, ensuring continuity and a standardised approach across the Assembly platform.
What’s new?
All reports have now been updated to show the default national benchmarking for every school phase. When you select a phase (e.g. Non-applicable, Primary, Secondary, All-through), the benchmarking figures dynamically update.
This update applies to the following reports:
  • Characteristics
  • Attendance
  • Exclusions
  • End of Key Stage (EoKS)
Key Benefit(s):
This update provides a consistent view across all reports, improving clarity and making it easier to compare data confidently and accurately.
Our goal is to have a standardised approach across all reports on the Assembly platform. This update brings CPOMS in line with the same filter logic used on other reports, ensuring consistency across reporting.

enrolment status filter,
allows for refined safeguarding data based on whether pupils were on roll on, before, or after census day, providing accurate context for reporting.
Key Benefit(s):
This update ensures CPOMS reports deliver the same reporting experience as other reports across the Assembly platform, making it easier to analyse data with greater accuracy and confidence.
