School Census 2014 Secondary School Application
Version 0.1
The default Census Date is the 2nd October, i.e. the first
Thursday in October.
It’s a good idea to provide a unique name, as we might
want to provide several files before we are ready to
Authorise
The dates for collecting the historical data are as
expected
Click to calculate the default values for the
remaining panels
As requested by customers, we have made it possible for last year’s return to be ignored for
allocating Planned End Dates and for exam results to be ignored for allocating QAN/Discount Codes. For this demonstration will we accept the default position where last year’s return and exam results are taken
into account
We haven’t updated the Top-up Funding information, so we
click Edit to open this functionality
In this case we have provided facilities for
copying the information from what was entered for
the Summer Census
Three pupils have been copied forward from the
Summer Census information
SEN might prove to be a helpful filter
Once we have added the pupils as necessary we
click Update to save and OK to return to the Census
application
Again, we click edit to modify the Adopted from Care
information
I this case we don’t need to add any more students, but if we did the procedure is very
similar to Top up Funding
We can update the Evidence Obtained tick by clicking on the tick
box.
We will ignore the missing marks for this dry run.
The most visible change to the table from last year is the addition
of the Core Aim column
It is quite possible to have different Core Aim for 2013/14
than for 2014/15
However, there is also a big change behind the scenes, where calculation of the best result has been complicated by
reallocation of Discount Codes by Awarding Organisations but not by
QWS.
By default the table is locked against data entry, as it is better to provide Learning Aim
information as stored for Course Management. However, there are
situations where it is reasonable to unlock the table, so information can be modified to
fully reflect the facts
The rows that can now be edited are displayed with a white
background
Bulk entry facilities are available for the date columns, which we can
illustrate here by updating a group of P End Dates
We start by getting the P End Date ordered on those dates by
clicking in its column header
We can use Click and Shift Click to select the rows for
bulk entry
Shift Click
Although Course Management only allows one Core Aim per student per
academic year, there are certain unusual circumstances where more than one Core Aim is allowed. The
additional Core Aims can be entered directly into this panel
Learning Aim records can also be created in their entirety by use of
the Add button
Add allows a Learning Aim to be added for a
particular student
We have ordered on P End Date so the record we have just created without a P End Date will be a the top of the
table
We must now enter the rest of the information
for the record
We can also exclude records
Create & Validate will take quite a long time, as there is a lot of
Attendance and Learning Aim information to collect and validate
This is a dry run so we can ignore the missing
attendance marks
The DfE have not yet provided the files for validation or for the
summary report, so we will just look at the detail reports provided
by Capita SIMS
Thank you for your time
This demonstration will be updated when the DfE files for the
Validation and Summer Report are included
