Promoting learners manually in Boost Insights

Synced with your MIS? See Promoting learners with an MIS sync instead. 

You can manually promote your learners at the start of a new academic year using the manual promotion tool. The tool lets you move your learners up a year group, and you can also use it to create promotion chains for classes/registration groups that move up together; we recommend creating a 'Leavers' class for your oldest year group to move in to. 

If your classes don't move up together then you can edit them with a CSV or via the 'Classes' tab instead. You can also use the CSV to edit learners' year groups, if preferred. 

To use the manual promotion tool: 

1. Log in to Boost Insights as the Access Coordinator.
2. Click Admin Hub in the bottom left. 
3. Go to School > Promotion > Overview. 
4. Click Next, then Next again on the 'Review year groups' panel.
5. Tick the year groups you'd like to manage. 
6. Click Save and continue. 
7. Click Next.
8. Use the dropdown boxes to create your class promotion chains. 
9. Click Save and continue. 
10. Click Next, then Promote all pupils in the bottom right.

If you've made a mistake, you can click Undo last promotion on the 'Final steps' or 'Overview' panels at any time to reverse the promotion.
