Adding new Objective collections

Insight allows almost any objectives to be used, for any subjects.

A set of objectives is known as a Collection. For example, a set of reading objectives for year one to year six would be one collection.

Many objective collections have a Supplier. This is the owner and creator of the collection. These are third party suppliers such as the DfE or a commercial supplier. Insight works with various suppliers already and these collections may be added to your set-up without having to retype or copy their content.

Suppliers of free to use objectives, such as the DfE, allow schools to use them freely under an open government licence. Commercial providers require an agreement and a valid external subscription to use in Insight.

Adding new Objective collections

If you already have your objectives in a spreadsheet, for example, we may be able to import them for you.

If you decide you want to manually enter all the objectives, this is possible, but can be time-consuming. Ensure this is the correct approach before proceeding.

To view your existing collections, choose Objectives from the Admin page.

To add a new objective set, click Add Collections.

You now have the option to choose a Supplier Collection or add a Custom Collection.

These are defined as:

Supplier Collection

Objectives that have been created by a third party. Most commonly, these will be commercial providers, where you may have purchased them for use in your school, or free providers, such as the DfE where collections are free to use and add to your Insight setup.

See our adding supplier collections guide for more.

Custom Collections

Objectives that have been created by you (or your trust) that have no commercial licence requirements. These will be unavailable more widely so not on our Supplier Collection list.
