Dear Joshua Perry 

 

Thank you for your request for information, which was received on
08/07/2024 08:00 . You requested:   

 

“Dear Department of Education,

 

I would like to see a breakdown of which software is used by schools to
return the school census to the department (i.e. their MIS Supplier) as at
the summer (May) 2024 School Census please.

 

I requested this information on 31 May 2024 and you asked me to get in
touch once the information was available to you within the statutory
timescales for FOI responses, bearing in mind that the data would be
available for you to share this week. So now that time has come, please
could you provide the following information in an excel spreadsheet
containing the following fields:

 

1. LA Number

2. School ESTAB code

3. Local authority Name

4. School Unique Reference Number (URN)

5. School name

6. Establishment Type (ie. community School, nursery, voluntary aided
school etc) 7. Establishment phase (i.e. primary, secondary) 8. MIS
Software Used 9. Numbers of pupils on roll

 

Please provide this information from the summer (May) 2024 school census
only.

 

Thank you in advance for your assistance and many thanks for your
assistance!

 

Yours faithfully,”

 

I have dealt with your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(“the Act”).

 

I attach a CSV file containing the following fields: local authority
number; school number; local authority name; school URN; school name;
establishment phase (i.e. primary, secondary); establishment type (i.e.
community school, nursery, voluntary aided school, etc.); software
supplier code; number of pupils.

It is not possible to provide the software supplier name as this
information is not held. However, the included software supplier code
contains the software supplier name in the majority of cases.

 

If you have any queries about the above, or need to contact us
further, please visit [1]https://www.education.gov.uk/contactus and quote
your reference number.

If you are unhappy with the way your request has been handled, you should
make a complaint to the Department by writing to me within two calendar
months of the date of this communication. Your complaint will be
considered by an independent review panel comprising officials who were
not involved in the original consideration of your request. 

If you are not content with the outcome of any such complaint to the
Department, you may then contact the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Yours sincerely

 Jon LEYSHON

 Department for Education
