This is technical information about submitting data for the school census 2019 to 2020.

Use this if you’re a:

The specification contains:

changes to the previous year’s census collection what data schools should supply at school level and pupil level how to structure the data in XML how to check the data against the validation rules

Software suppliers should use the list of validation rules so that schools can validate the data they submit.

You should also read the common basic data set (CBDS). This defines common data items that schools use in MIS software and that we use in our data collections.

More guidance on submitting school census data is also available.
