Statutory School Census – 2022/23 Academic Yea
The statutory school census dates of the 2022/23 academic year are as follows:
Census Day
Autumn Thu 6th Oct
Spring Thu 19th Jan
Summer Thu 18th May
We ask that all maintained schools submit their return to the LA, via the School Upload System, by the end of the following day i.e. Autumn 22 census by Friday 7th October.
Data collected via these returns are used by the DFE for funding purposes, to support strategic objectives and to inform policy decisions.
The autumn school census will be used in the calculation of the ‘schools block’ of the dedicated schools grant, pupil premium allocations for mainstream and special schools and also the universal infant free school meals funding.
It is therefore vitally important that you are satisfied with the accuracy of your schools’ return before submitting it, and that it is returned by the prescribed deadlines.
Prior to each census ICT Development Service will up-load 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 Intelligence on 01926 742169 or by e-mail businessintelligence@warwickshire.gov.uk
Thank you for your continued support with these collections.
