[General](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/general?hsLang=en-gb) # Managing leavers ### **Permissions** ### The user will need permissions to view and manage student records and '**Can manage admissions**'. ![](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-47-5624-AM.png?width=768&height=68&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-47-5624-AM.png) Leavers can be managed from the Student record page or in bulk from the Admissions register.    ### **Adding a leaver from the Student record** Managing leavers is in the Admissions block of the student record page. The leavers process includes adding the student Leaver date, the Reason for leaving and destination information.  There is an option to add any additional notes if required.    ![](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-48-2740-AM.png?width=1299&height=391&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-48-2740-AM.png)   Link to leavers page  **People \> People \> Leavers** - Will re-create the admissions page filtered by leavers.  This page can be filtered by Leavers AY (Academic year), current academic year Year groups and search for individual students.    ![](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-49-0313-AM.png?width=1383&height=304&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-49-0313-AM.png)   **To Bulk off-roll** Go to **People \> Admissions** - select the Year group filter, Admission status of 'Admitted' and select the students from the list to off roll.  Then select items to view the menu to '**Change leaver status'**. ![](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-48-7713-AM.png?width=1340&height=383&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-48-7713-AM.png) A modal will display to complete the leaver status for the selected students. As the toggle is selected the information can be added to set the leaving date and reason.  The reasons use the CBDS terms for leavers.  ![](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-49-2702-AM.png?width=488&height=283&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-49-2702-AM.png) NB: to off-roll a leaver, their leaver date must be set and be today or in the past Depending on several factors, their group memberships may or may not be ended: **Locked Leavers** Locked leavers are defined in 2 ways: - Their leaver date is after the census day and they are in a locked year group (a year group with a "do not remove students after this date" date that has passed). - Their leaver date is on or after the final timetabled day of the year. If the student is a locked leaver, schools need the students to appear in their groups and subjects in GO 4 Schools to view statistical outputs i.e. ribbons and performance measures.  **Non-locked leaver** If a student is not a locked leaver, then when they leave, their active group memberships will have their end dates set to their leaver date in the MIS, and their memberships will be deleted.    ### Deceased students Deceased students are never treated as locked leavers, even if they meet the criteria.  They will have their group memberships ended as per non-locked leavers.    N.B. In order for the group membership ending to work correctly for deceased leavers that would usually be treated as locked leavers, its important that their reason for leaving is set before/at the same time as they are off rolled.  If this step is added at a later point the student's group memberships will need to be ended manually.  ![](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-48-5049-AM.png?width=494&height=284&name=undefined-Apr-10-2026-10-21-48-5049-AM.png) - [General](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/general?hsLang=en-gb) - [Academic Year Set Up](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/academic-year-set-up?hsLang=en-gb) - [Student records](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/student-records?hsLang=en-gb) - [Courses](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/courses?hsLang=en-gb) - [Timetables](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/timetables?hsLang=en-gb) - [Cover management](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/cover-management?hsLang=en-gb) - [Exams](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/exams?hsLang=en-gb) - [Reports](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/reports?hsLang=en-gb) - [MIS Communications](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/mis-communications?hsLang=en-gb) - [Settings](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/settings?hsLang=en-gb) - [Census](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/census?hsLang=en-gb) - [Staff records](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/staff-records?hsLang=en-gb) - [Roles and Permissions](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/roles-and-permissions?hsLang=en-gb) - [Admissions](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/admissions?hsLang=en-gb) - [Agencies and agents](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/agencies-and-agents?hsLang=en-gb) - [Video Guides](https://supporttest.go4schools.com/mis/video-guides?hsLang=en-gb) Copyright © 2026, GO 4 Schools
