Producing the School Census for Primary Schools – Tutor Led Training

We've listened to your feedback, and can now offer a range of courses delivered by our Scomis training specialists. The School Census Return is required to be completed by maintained Nursery schools, Primary schools, Secondary schools, All Through schools, Special schools, Pupil Referral Units (PRUs), and Academies in England. School Census is a data collection exercise which provides the Central Government with data from the schools’ management information systems (MIS). The data collected is determined by government requirements but may also be used by local authorities (LA). The specification of the School Census moved from a calendar year basis (spring, summer and autumn) to an academic year basis (autumn, spring and summer) from January 2014 and the date for each collection is set each year.
