Schools datasets

Schools data comes from several sources:

1. School census data

   All schools and academies are required to submit a census to the Department for Education every term. The evidence and data contained within the census helps to provide a clearer picture of how the school system is working. The Department for Education use the data to ensure that funds are allocated to the areas they are needed, so that no child misses out on the education they deserve.
