Spring Release 2013 - School Census Summer 2013: Filesets • On Release (and any re-release): • Content of Fileset 130 will be copied to the SIMS .net folder • Fileset 130 will NOT be copied to the DMS • The files in the SIMS .net folder will be used by the Census applications • Import of Fileset after Release: • If a Fileset is made available after the release it will be given a higher version number, e.g. 132, and can be imported into the DMS • Where a Fileset with a version higher than 130 has been imported into the DMS it will be used instead of the version 130 files in the SIMS .net folder

  9. Spring Release 2013 - School Census Summer 2013: YSSA • Youth Support Service Agreement (YSSA) in Student Details • Has replaced Connexions Assent • Some schools have applied the patch to copy the Connexions Assent setting to YSSA • Not applicable to Primary Schools

  10. Spring Release 2013 - School Census Summer 2013: YSSA • Youth Support Service Agreement (YSSA) in Bulk Update • Available for Update Data Item but not for Student Population 10

  11. Spring Release 2013 - School Census Summer 2013: Eligible for FSM • Country of UK: • Records for all UK Countries are included in the Return • Only UK Country of blank or England are relevant for FSM Every 6 aspect of Pupil Premium • So it is important for schools to check the indication of another UK country like Wales is correct, as such FSM records will be ignored for Pupil Premium

  12. Spring Release 2013 - School Census Summer 2013: Attendance • 4 Year Olds: • Attendance is collected for 4 year olds in the same way as it is for older pupils, but the DfE is actually only interested in whether they are present or absent for each of the relevant sessions • Therefore, there is no need for schools to collect reason for absence for 4 year olds

  13. Spring Release 2013 - School Census Summer 2013: Removed/Replaced • Removed: • Pupil Disability • Replaced: • Eligible for FSM on Census day has been replaced by Eligible for FSM records • Connexions Assent replaced by Youth Support Services Agreement

  14. Spring Release 2013 - School Census Summer 2013: Hours for Early Years • One Panel in School Census and one route in SIMS: • Dividing the entry of Early Years Hours by age groups was helpful for earlier Censuses, but is no longer helpful as SEN is now also relevant to cohorts • We now provide a single panel in Census and as single route in SIMS and these include columns and filters for relevant factors

  15. Spring Release 2013 - School Census Summer 2013: Details Reports • Eligibility for Free School Meals: • Free School Meal Eligibility report is new to the Summer Census

  16. Spring Release 2013 - School Census Summer 2013: Details Reports • Absentees: • Absentees report is designed to reflect the DfE view on persistent absence in the Census Return - fewer absences used to indicate persistent absence

  17. Spring Release 2013 - School Census Summer 2013: Reasons for Including Leavers • Leavers are including if one or more of the following historical items are available for the pupil: • Attendance • Exclusions • Bursary • Eligibility for FSM: • Eligibility records are included for leavers, but it is not a reason for including a leaver as leavers do not attract Pupil Premium • NB: If a pupil transfers from one school to another during the collection period the new school should make sure they report any FSM eligibility in the collection period, even where it is a period before they arrived at that school, otherwise they could miss out on Pupil Premium

  18. Spring Release 2013 - CTF 12 Enhancements

  25. Summer Release 2013 - Items to be made available for September 2013 so they can be picked up by School Census Autumn 2014

  27. Summer Release 2013 - School Workforce Census 2013

  28. Summer Release 2013 - School Workforce Census 2013 • Changes to DfE Specification: • The DfE specification has not changed much for 2013 apart from moving the dates one year on • However, the DfE has told us that it is acceptable for a school to include an amount for Basic Pay that is not in line with what can be calculated from other information the school has included, e.g. scale • Dealing with Pay Issues: • We will introduce a panel for Payments Amounts. The panel will only appear if a patch has been applied to open up this new functionality • This will default the basic pay amount to what is calculate from the other pay details, or 0 if those details are not available • The school will then be able to change the Payment Amounts to reflect what they are actually paying

  29. Summer Release 2013 – Non EDI Entry for England

  30. Non EDI Result Entry for England “Import DfE QAN Catalogue from QWS” has been renamed to “Import Qualification Data” and now includes import of a Performance Measures XML file. The Performance Measures XML file is provided from SupportNet and is derived from The Register of Regulated Qualifications (RRQ). 30

  31. Non EDI Result Entry for England Selection of students takes place as previously, but clicking Add Result will provide an entry screen where much of the content is automatically filled from the information contained in the Performance Measures XML file. 31

  32. Non EDI Result Entry for England Once the users enters the QAN, Refresh will fill in much of the remaining detail. 32

  33. Non EDI Result Entry for England In this case the Subject Code has been auto-filled, as there is only one Discount Code (Subject Code) for the QAN. Where there is more than one Discount Code for the QAN, the user will need to choose the Subject Code that applies Once the QAN and Subject Code are identified several more fields are auto-filled. Course will only be auto-filled if a course already exists with the QAN and Discount Code. 33

  34. Non EDI Result Entry for England Once the user enters the grade the remaining information is auto-filled. Grade entry will be restricted to the grade set identified in the Performance Measures XML file. 34
