School Census is a termly return from all state-funded primary, secondary, special and PRUs. Maintained schools submit data to the local authority, where data is checked and approved. The DfE then authorise the returns. For academy schools, the data is submitted directly to the DfE.

Data from the returns is used by the DfE to inform school budgets, to produce contextual analysis of assessment outcomes and to monitor schools, for example by checking for illegal class sizes. It is therefore essential that it is accurate. Schools should use MIS reports and Census Summary to check data prior to submission. There should be a headteacher sign-off process within each school.
