Dear Ella

Thank you for your email dated 30 May about the school census. You wrote:

“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 the following information in an excel spreadsheet
containing the following fields:

•Local authority Number

•School Number

•School name

•Establishment Type (ie. community School, nursery, Voluntary aided school
etc)

•Establishment phase (i.e. primary, secondary)

•MIS Software Used

•Numbers of pupils on roll

Please provide this information from the most recent complete census
(Spring Census 2019 and Summer 2019 censuses).”

I have dealt with your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

The January 2019 school census collection has concluded however, the data
from this census will not be available until after the publication of the
[1]schools, pupils and their characteristics statistical first release in
June 2019. I have noted your email address and will forward you the
requested information immediately following publication of the
aforementioned statistical first release.

The May 2019 school census has not yet concluded, I expect to have this
data at the end of July 2019 and will forward you the requested
information on receipt.

If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. Please
remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.

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 letter.  Your complaint will be considered by
an independent review panel, who were not involved in the original
consideration of your request. 

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

Kind Regards

Kirsty Knox
