School MIS Supplier Statistics
Dear Department for Education,
I would like to see a breakdown of which software is used by
schools to return the school census to the department e.g. their
MIS supplier.
Please could you provide this information in an Excel spreadsheet
containing the following fields:
Local Authority Number
School Number
School Name
Establishment Type (i.e. Community School, Nursery, Voluntary Aided
School, etc.)
Establishment Phase (i.e. Primary, Secondary)
MIS Software used
Number of pupils on roll
Please provide this information from the most recent complete
census (October/15).
Thank you in advance for your help - it is much appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Rich Harley
