The Autumn Census Post-16 Report is crucial for schools with Post-16 students as it influences funding based on recorded Learning Aims. Schools can generate this report in Arbor or use a third-party service for funding analysis. Access requires specific permissions, and the report includes data on learning hours, prior attainment, and learning aims. It is only available for the Autumn School Census, and schools can resubmit their census if issues are identified.
The Autumn School Census is particularly important for schools with Post-16, as the Learning Aims recorded are used to determine the funding they receive.
You may enlist the help of a 3rd party company to help you determine how much funding you receive, based on the data you'll be submitting. You can generate a report from in Arbor to check yourselves, or send it to a 3rd party.
Top Tip: A similar report is also available on submission or resubmission of your census in COLLECT.
