Preamble
At the end of term 4, some schools would be running a Headstart Program (Step-Up, Flying Start, Transition, etc.). This document will outline the steps needed to sync your Headstart to Compass from E10 and Timetable Daily. Schools will first need their 2025 file already prepared for this.
This document covers schools that are Not using a Headstart Clone for their Headstart Program and only having Years 10-11 move up into Year 11-12 (Type A - Option A1). Please click here to see which option best suits your school and if a Headstart Clone is needed. Step 1: Syncing your current 2024 Timetable "etz" file to both Tes Daily and Compass as normal

Step 2: Create Meadowbanks events in Tes Daily when classes cease for Yr 12 and Yr 11
Go into Daily's 'Event' tab and click on 'Create Event' on the right-side
- Enter in the Event name, select 'MEADOWBANKS' from the drop-down for the 'Event type' and set the date range for the duration of the Headstart Program.
Publish date should be set to today or earlier as this allows for the cancelled classes to be visible for staff
- Expand the 'Students' tab then the '11', tick only the '11 (whole year group)' option.
- Do the same for 12, ticking only the '12 (whole year group)' option.
- Click Save.

- Enter in the class for the Event name, select 'Event' from the drop-down for the 'Event type' and set the date range for a 'Partial day' to when that class occurs.

Step 4: Follow the same setup for 2025 Yr 11 classes
Step 5: Sync the 2025 Yr 11 and Yr 12 classes ONLY to Compass Headstart layer
