Use Groups to organise students for payments, forms and personal notifications. Groups are useful for sports teams, trips, clubs, competitions and events, especially when students are in different years or classes.

Option 1: Import a group from a CSV file

If the group already exists in VSware or Tyro, you can export it and prepare the file for import into Unique Schools.

Prepare your file

1. Log in to uniqueschoolapp.ie.
2. Open Administration > Groups.
3. Download the Sample File and use it as a guide to prepare your CSV file.

Import and save your group

1. On the Groups page, click Browse and select your CSV file.
2. Enter a clear group name, such as U16 Soccer Team or 6th Year Trip 2026.
3. Click Import.
4. Review any messages. The system will tell you if students cannot be found and prompt you to check any issues.
5. Once you have checked the details, click Submit to create your group.

If you need help with an import issue, email staffsupport@uniqueschools.ie.

Option 2: Create a group manually

Use this option to select students directly in Unique Schools.

Create the group

1. Log in to uniqueschoolapp.ie.
2. Open Administration > Groups.
3. Click Add.
4. Enter a clear group name, such as U16 Soccer Team.

Find the students

You can use either of these options to find students:

• Search: Use the Search box to find an individual student.
• Filters: Under Filter By, choose Year/Class or Family Type (for example, siblings), then click Apply Filter.

Using filters is optional.

Select students and save

1. Tick the students you want to include, or use Select All.
2. Click Add Selected. The students will move into the Final List.
3. Check that the Final List contains the correct students.
4. Click Submit to save your group.

Use your groups

You can use saved groups to apply payments, send forms and send personal notifications without selecting the same students each time.

You can also create groups within:

• School Shop
• Forms
