Hwb ‘rollover’ to academic year 2026 to 2027

A guide to Hwb account rollover for schools and local authorities is available in the Hwb support centre.

The process of moving Hwb accounts and data from one academic year to another is automated. However, it heavily relies on schools updating learner and staff data in their Management Information System (MIS) in good time so that Hwb accounts are ready for users at the beginning of term.

It is also essential that Hwb provisioning clients are running regularly throughout the summer holidays. Schools that use SIMS or Teacher Centre must schedule their provisioning client to run on 29 August and prior to the first day of term.

The dates will apply to all maintained schools in Wales.

All schools must complete their end of year (EOY) procedures before Friday 7 August 2026 in preparation for the rollover of Hwb accounts.
