August news & updates

The default year/season in SOCS has now been rolled over to 2024/25 for all of our schools in the northern hemisphere.

This means that when you login, you will automatically be working within Term 1 of the 2024/25 academic year.

Note: this update does not apply to SOCS schools in the southern hemisphere.

We're excited to announce a new enhancement in the co-curricular event registers on the desktop! 

You can now filter event registers not only by year group but also by form. Once you've chosen the year group, the form filter will appear right next to it, making it easier than ever to manage and view your event registers with precision.

We've updated the SOCS XML feeds for Tuition to now include "staff-pupil relationships."

This enhancement allows you to see which teachers are linked to which pupils, along with the specific instruments they are associated with.

A huge thank you to all the schools that expressed interest in BETA testing the new SOCS facilities! 

Our development team is finalizing the last steps of internal work, and we will be reaching out to our BETA schools soon with further details. Stay tuned!
