Reminder to complete the educational setting status form for schools and colleges

Schools and colleges are asked to resume completing the educational setting status form from the start of the autumn term. Please complete the form each day by 2pm.

The government is asking you to continue to submit your attendance data daily throughout September, so they can monitor attendance in schools and colleges after the summer break.

They have made some changes to the form to align with the latest guidance for schools and colleges, however this does not impact the way that you complete the form. They have updated the questions on COVID-19 related absence and have added a new set of questions about managing COVID-19 in your school or college.

Further information on completing the educational setting status form, including an updated set of attendance sub-codes, can be found in their guidance.
