The Retention Schedule displays a list of learners who may be retained based on their promotion formula results. The report only generates correctly when Promotion Formulas are configured.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my Retention Schedule blank?

The Retention Schedule requires Promotion Formulas to be set up. Without them the report cannot calculate retention decisions. Go to My School > Curriculum > Template Formulas or Subject Specific Formulas to configure them.

What is the difference between original and moderated marks?

Original marks are the raw marks captured in d6. Moderated marks are adjusted marks after a moderation process. Choose the appropriate option based on which marks should appear on the official retention schedule.

Can I generate the report for specific learners only?

Yes. Select Choose Learner from the learner selection options, then specify the grade, register class, or individual learners to include.
