Attendance Recording
Colleges with ESFA funded learners in England and Wales continue to be required to complete the daily educational setting status form. The requirements include providing information on number of students in attendance, number with an EHCP, number of teacher absences. The data is available to LAs, and Natspec has asked DfE to remind LAs that centrally collected data should be used rather than colleges having to complete multiple returns to LAs of the same data in different formats.
