Aims of the team
The Capita Schools Data Team are currently responsible for the central children's database for Staffordshire LA. This is populated and updated by the weekly B2B files that are transferred from schools' SIMS. It is essential therefore that schools ensure that all pupil data is accurate and up-to-date.
We also support schools in returning the School Census to the DfE three times a year and collect the statutory assessment data from schools in the summer term.
The central database is accessible to the following teams within the department:
- Admissions Team
- Inclusion and Wellbeing
- School Transport
- Families First
- School Organisation Unit
- Early Years
Using the School Census, we provide aggregated numbers to:
- JFU (Joint Finance Unit) for allocation of school budgets
- Health and Social Care Partners
Please note: The above lists are not a comprehensive list, but some examples of who has access to schools' data.
