Reporting Past/Current/Future Students

This article looks at the different ways to report on past, current and future students, typically for marketing purposes.
If your school is using Pardot (a Salesforce marketing tool), this tool has the ability to look at custom objects, so Pardot filters could be built using the fields described below.
A number of these fields rely on a batch process to be kept up to date. If the data is not appearing as expected in your system, please contact support@schoolworks.co.uk and the batch processes can be re-run to update all the fields.
