Details

You can use these files to transfer data related to:

• admissions to schools from September 2024
• in-year admissions during the 2023 to 2024 academic year

In-year co-ordination is not statutory, but own-admission-authority schools (for example, academy schools) must notify the local authority of the application for admission and its outcome.

Note: XSD files must be stored in a separate folder from those used in earlier years, as some of the files have identical names and may be overwritten in error.
