School census

Census reference date is 16 January 2025.

All schools are asked to submit their census to the COLLECT website by this date to enable us to carry out the necessary data checks before the DfE deadline. Signed census summaries should be sent to us via AnyComms or email.

Please note: details of the recent changes and arrangements for the school census can be found in the letter sent to the school.
