Admissions transfer file: example file

Details

You can use these files to transfer data related to:

  • admissions to schools from September 2026
  • in-year admissions during the academic year 2025 to 2026

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.
