How to permanently delete a pupil

A situation may arise where a pupil’s profile needs to be permanently deleted from Insights. You can make this change at the bottom of the Pupil Profile page.

Note: One you permanently delete a pupil’s profile, you will no longer be able to retrieve the pupil’s personal details or assessment information. As a safety measure, before permanently deleting a pupil’s profile, you can download their personal details and assessment information for your records.

Anonymised data about pupil characteristics and assessment will be retained in the system, but this will no longer be linked to the individual pupil.
