The Schools Administration Group meets once a year in September to support schools preparing for statutory returns. 

The Group covers:

• statutory returns,
• changes to requirements
• how data should be input to ensure accuracy
• sharing good practice
• networking opportunities

Sometimes other local authority services are also invited to speak on data related matters, for example Early Years and BACME. 

As data submitted in statutory returns informs school budgets and performance tables, it is highly recommended for schools to attend the annual meeting. To book your place please visit WF Online training. 

For further information please contact the Education Performance and Information team.
