Statutory spring school census – January 2017
The second statutory school census return of the 2016/17 academic year will take place on Thursday 19 January. Deadline for submission to Warwickshire County Council (WCC) is Friday 20 January.
Data collected via these returns is used by the Department for Education for funding purposes, to inform policy decisions and to underpin RAISEonline and school performance tables.
As in previous years, the spring school census will be used to fund the pupil premium and the early years block of the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG).
It is therefore vitally important that you are satisfied with the accuracy of your school’s return before uploading it to WCC, and that it is returned by the prescribed deadline.
Prior to each census the ICT Development Service uploads census documentation to the Warwickshire Learning Platform (WeLearn365) which can be found at: http://bit.ly/midaspages and on the download site http://wsd.we-learn.com/downloads. These will assist you in preparing and running your census returns.
If you have any technical queries regarding the SIMS system and generating the return please contact the ICT Development Service Desk on 01926 414100.
If you have any other questions about this data collection, please contact Michelle Ali, Business & Commissioning Intelligence, on 01926 742169 or by email at businessintelligence@warwickshire.gov.uk
