Student Funding Records and School Led Tutoring Hours
These pages are for school to update which students are eligible for funding, and the hours taken of School Led Funding:
- You need to record which funding students are eligible for, if any. For example, you may need to report on some student's top-up funding indicator for the census. You can see more details here: Adding top up funding to a student
- If you have recorded a student as being in receipt of School led tutoring funding, you must add their number of tuition hours: Record the number of tuition hours
Core Learning Aims, Learning and EEP Hours and GCSE Attainment for Funding
These pages are for schools with Post-16 students to:
- record learning aims for Programmes of Study: Programmes of Study and Core Learning Aims for Post-16
- record the time spent on different activities for the census: Planned learning and EEP hours
- record past GCSE attainment in English and Maths: Adding prior attainment for English and Maths
Funded Hours
Clicking on this will take you to a table that contains hours and funding information required in the School Census for Early Years and Nursery students. This data is not reported for 4-years-olds in Reception, so Reception students are not included in the table. For each individual student the number of funded hours allowed depends on the student's age and NC year.
Top Tip: You can upload a spreadsheet of these details in bulk: Entity Importer for setting up your site from scratch or adding new data
You can update an individual student’s hours by clicking on their name.
- Please note, for students that are not entitled to extended hours paid for by the government, do not enter anything into the Extended hours field.
- Hours paid for by the child’s parents or the school should only contribute to the Hours at setting total.
- You’ll need to ask the parents if you do not know a child’s code.
You can also add some information in bulk, but you will still need to add the codes in by clicking on the students.
If a student is 2 and has funded hours, you'll need to add a funding basis. Click the student's name to add a funding basis (this cannot be updated in bulk).
Update YSSA
For students who are 11+ you'll need to record who's information you are sharing with Connexions. You can see more information on this on the DfE's website here. Top Tip: This information is not required in the Census for Primary Schools.
Tick the students then click the Bulk action button to update the value. If you’re not requesting this information, you can mark your students as Unsought.
