Information: ESFA e-bulletin subscriptions

Along with many other organisations, we are currently reviewing the way that we send out information as we prepare to implement the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As a result of our review, we have decided to change the way in which people subscribe to the ESFA bulletin, which will take affect from 24 May 2018.

If you are a head of organisation, finance director, chair of governor at a 16 to 19 provider, a director of children’s services or an officer at a local authority, you will not need to do anything and you will continue to receive the email.

To make sure we have the most up to date contact information for you please update your contact information through the My Contact Information feature on the Information Exchange.

If you are not one of the roles listed above and you want to continue receiving an email when we have published our newsletter, then you will need to subscribe to GOV.UK alerts.This way you will find out when we have published it online for you to read.

Information: summer school census

The summer school census 2018 begins on Thursday 17 May. The deadline for approved submissions is Wednesday 13 June and the database will be closed to amendments from schools and local authorities on Wednesday 4 July.

The ‘beta’ release of the 2018 summer school census live COLLECT blade that is available for you to become familiar with, will remain available until 4pm on Friday 11 May.

The school census guide for the 2017 to 2018 academic year and a series of videos are available on the school census website.

Information: online T level data collection

We plan to publish an online T level data collection by the end of May. This data collection will gather information to inform T level implementation and inform future provider support programmes.

The data collection is for those providers who currently deliver vocational and technical study programmes to 16 to 18-year-old students at level 2 and 3. As these programmes could potentially become T levels in future. We have made the guidance for completion available on GOV.UK. This provides the opportunity for relevant providers to begin gathering the information required before the online data collection goes live in a few weeks. We will confirm in a future bulletin when the collection is open.
