School Census Autumn 2014 Overview Post 16 QAN Plus Discount Code The DfE expects to receive QWS QAN plus Discount Code combinations in all cases. QWS QAN plus Discount Code combinations can no longer be guaranteed to be in line with AO QAN plus Discount Code combinations. The DfE has provided a document that purports to map between QWS QAN plus Discount Code combinations and the various AO QAN plus Discount Code. We intend to use this document for mapping between the two.

School Census Autumn 2014 Overview Alternative Curriculum Schools are now using this in a number of different ways We are looking at allow schools to add alternative curriculum classes to courses, which can then be picked up by Census - I can’t promise this as we have other higher priorities

Content School Workforce Census Overview

School Workforce Census 2014 Overview DfE changes compared to SWC 2013 Census Reference Date 6th November 2014 Collection of information for PRUs is now the same as for other schools, as the period when the staff in PRUs were centrally employed is now irrelevant. QTS route now to be included for all staff who, since the previous school workforce census, have taken up their first position since qualifying as a teacher, regardless of when they qualified School Direct and School Direct (salaried) now included in the range of QTS routes.

School Workforce Census 2014 Overview DfE changes compared to SWC 2013 Base pay now has to be included even if Scales and Points are included. Validation rule 4540 has been adjusted to take account of this. The DfE expects there to be less instances when Scale and Points are included (only senior leadership?). ‘Advanced Skills Teacher’ and ‘Excellent Teacher’ pay scales have been superseded by 'Leading Practitioner'. Validation rules 4500 and 4505 have been removed to take account of this.

School Workforce Census 2014 Overview DfE changes compared to SWC 2013 New validation queries added. Check that birth dates are not defaulting to 1 January Check that salaries are above the minimum wage and below the local government maximum Check that staff are not recorded as working more than 48 hours per week New validation error added Check that Weeks Per Year is not greater than 53

School Workforce Census 2014 Overview Base Pay and Additional Payments Schools are NOT being forced to move to the new style of pay structures in Personnel 7, so it is going to be difficult for the Census to obtain reliable base pay and additional payment information. We intend to continue to allow school to adjust base pay manually as necessary. Scale Information The DfE still wants this to be included where available and relevant, e.g. Senior leadership
