Some students commonly use a shortened from of their surname (eg Field-Wilding only normally uses Wilding)
Pupil Manager needs a field to store this -we currently put proper surname in official name field and shortened form in surname field but the autocomplete functionality does its best to overwrite this)
Pupil Manager needs proper support for preferred surname in the same way as it supports preferred first name.
Development are currently working on a project to add Preferred Surname to Student Manager, etc. A comms has been sent out to schools this morning.
