School Workforce Census 2013 - Academies

Academies formed in the collection period: • In last year’s Census we used the date the establishment changed its name to

determine when the academy was formed, but this forced academies to type in a date for a name change even where the name had not actually changed.

• In this year’s Census we will be using the date the establishment’s URN changed, which is something that changes for all academies.
