Extended Groups allow you to group pupils together outside of their classes. This is useful when recording information across class or year groups, for example peripateric music lessons, school council, after-school clubs etc.
Once you have logged into STARS and are at the Home page, follow these steps to add a pupil to an Extended Group:
- From the menu bar, click 'Ext Grp→Pupils→Change'.
- From the drop-down list, select the class from which you will add pupils into the Extended Groups.
- You may click on the 'Class View' button to view all pupils in the selected class.
- Click the 'Back' button to return to the class drop-down selection.
- Click 'Accept' to continue.
- Pupils in the selected class will be displayed along the left-hand side, all of the available Extended Groups are displayed along the top of the screen.
- To hide an Extended Group, click on the black arrow above the group name. The group will be removed from the list and displayed at the bottom of the screen with a red arrow next to its name. This allows you to unclutter the screen when working with a small number of groups.
- To un-hide an Extended Group, click on the red arrow next to its name at the bottom of the screen. The group will be returned to the top of the screen.
- To add a pupil into an Extended Group, place a tick in the appropriate checkbox.
- To remove a pupil from an Extended Group, untick the appropriate checkbox.
- Extended Group names that are displayed in orange are School Attribute groups. Pupils can be added to and removed from these groups via the pupil add/change options as well as from this screen.
- Extended Group names that are displayed in red are SEN groups maintained by STARS. You may make changes to the pupils in these groups but if their pupil information is updated ('Pupil→Change' option) then STARS will undo any SEN Extended Group changes made for the pupil (all other groups for the pupil will remain unchanged)
- Click 'Accept' to save the Extended Group changes to STARS.
