A group is one tenant with campuses beneath it. Definitions — fee heads, attendance rules, grading bands, thresholds — are set at the trust and inherited; values are supplied per campus. Data is isolated per campus by default, and a student transferring between them carries one record.
This is the data model. How to run a group on it — what to centralise, what to leave to a principal — is the multi-branch use case.
The technical question a group asks is narrower than the operational one: what exactly is shared, what is isolated, and what happens to a student who moves between campuses in October.
A campus can change a value and cannot change a definition. That constraint is unpopular in week one and is the only reason a group figure means anything in November.
A student moving within the group carries their record — attendance history, fee ledger, results — rather than being admitted afresh. Where the group shares an admission series this is direct; where campuses number independently, the record holds both and the group identifier is the stable one.
The alternative, which is what most groups do today, is issuing a TC and re-admitting. That works, and it also breaks the student’s history at exactly the point a parent is most likely to ask about it.
Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.
Yes. Board is a property of the section, so a CBSE campus and a state board campus coexist. Attendance and collection compare; marks do not, and a roll-up that ranks campuses on marks is misleading.
Only if the trust grants it. Isolation per campus is the default; trust roles see the roll-up and can drill in.
Groups run to around forty. Past a handful the limit is organisational — whether the trust will fix definitions centrally — rather than technical.
