Adding, editing or removing staff members

Staff accounts can be created for both teachers and other members of staff who support students such as Teaching Assistants and Learning Facilitators. These users will be able to log in and use Sparx Maths. All staff have the same administrative rights.

Add a new staff member

1) To add a new staff member select Staff Manager from the Management menu.

2) From here click on Add staff member using the button at the top right of the screen.

3) Add details of the new staff member in the relevant fields.

4) Remember to select a role or multiple roles from the list. By default, teacher will be selected. You can only have one Sparx Maths Leader and one Head of Maths.

5) Click 'Save'. Teachers will automatically receive a welcome email with details about how to login.

Edit an existing staff member

If you need to edit an existing teacher, for example if their email address or role has changed, click on the pencil symbol next to their name. Staff can do this themselves as well, and their password will remain unchanged.

Remove a staff member

If you need to remove a teacher who has left, click on the pencil symbol next to their name and scroll down to 'Remove Staff Member' and click on Remove 'I understand, remove Name' immediately.

Admin privileges/access rights

There are no admin accounts in Sparx Maths as all accounts have the same permissions and are able to change settings (such as e.g. setting up Single Sign-On, importing classes).

Key Contacts

Staff are users who you would like to be able to log in and use Sparx Maths. They are different than Key Contacts, who are just there for us in the case of needing to send relevant information to them. Some Key Contacts may also require access to Sparx Maths, on these occasions you can also add them via the staff tab. Users with the roles "Sparx Maths Leader”, “SLT- Line manager of Maths” or “Head of Maths" will automatically appear in both tabs once they are created. Find out more about Key Contacts in the support article “Which Key Contacts do you ask for and why?”
