Classes

Your classes are what you build assessments around, so it’s worth knowing how they get there and what to do when they change.

The Classes page listing each class with its subject and year group

Most schools connect to Running Paper through Wonde. If yours does, your classes are pulled straight from your MIS (Sims, Bromcom, Arbor and so on) and synced every Saturday at midnight, so timetable changes land without anyone having to do anything.

If a student moves classes mid-week, you don’t have to wait for Saturday. Click Re-sync data and your own classes will be refreshed against the MIS.

The Classes page with the Re-sync data button showing Syncing

If the whole school needs re-syncing rather than just your classes, get in touch with support and we’ll run it for you.

If you’re covering for a colleague or running a department, you can also add other classes. Click Add classes, pick the subject and year group, tick the classes you want, and then click Add in the top right.

They’ll then sit alongside your own classes, so you can create assessments for them as normal.

You can also build a class from scratch, which is handy for intervention groups or any set of students that doesn’t exist in the MIS. Click Create class, give it a name, and pick your students.

The Create a class and add students dialog

You don’t have to add everyone straight away, students can be added or removed at any point.
