- Click on the LOGIN button
- On the new page enter the school's 3-digit Local Authority number
- Then enter the 4-digit establishment number in the next box
- Then click 'select'
The data on the website is currently for 2014-15. If the school`s data is not visible you should contact your Local Authority to ensure that your data has met validation requirements.
School Census data for January 2015 has been used to populate the pupil numbers and the November 2014 Workforce data has been used to populate the staff numbers.
Academies are not required to submit a CFR return but if your school converts at the end or before the end of the financial year, CFR data is required for the period prior to conversion.
If your school has converted you may wish to use the academies benchmarking site at: www.education.gov.uk.
