How to manage your cap status configuration
This guide provides instructions on how schools manage their cap status configuration.
Your cap status recommended by Scout may change over time based on your school’s current enrolment numbers or changes to your school’s permanent classroom count.
Where your configured cap status is different to your cap status indicated through Scout you will see notifications within the OES School Interface and receive an email notification to your school’s email address.
Where the new recommended Scout cap status is different to your configured Cap status, you should update your configured Cap status to match what is recommended by Scout.
It is important to accurately configure your school’s current cap status so that the correct messaging is shown to parents about the likelihood of an out-of-area place being offered at your school.
When there are concerns that the cap status that is recommended by Scout is incorrect, your principal should speak with the DEL to ensure that the cap information in the Scout report is correct.
