The Delete School button is only effective if you have entered a school in error and wish to remove it immediately. If you have already associated pupils with the school you will not be able to delete it until you have linked the associated pupils to other schools. This would normally be done using the Feeder Swapper form which is accessible from the Data Integrity tab of the Divers form on the Look-up Tables menu.

Once entered, you will be able to find the new Feeder school in the Feeder School Finder below, filtering the results by several school characteristics including Features, which are the different ways in which your school interacts with other schools (feeder, destination, competition, agent, etc.). Every feeder school can be defined in as many ways as makes sense for that school.

Adding a New Feature

Features are created and managed from the relevant Feeder Features Look Up table, and they also need to be set up in System Variables | Settings, where you will need to select the feature you want to use for each type – in our example that was ‘Feeder School’ and ‘Destination’.
