Creating terms

You can create and customise multiple terms for your setting, with different start/finish dates, funding rates, and holidays. Funding can only be applied within term dates. Terms are assigned to children individually, and multiple terms can be assigned for each academic year.

  2. Click on Terms/Funding on the left.
  3. Click on the  button in the top right to create a new term.
