When a student is identified as a Young Carer and the flag is active, it is now visible across key areas of the system. |
| Administration – Pre‑Admission Students: Improvements to ATF & CTF Import Date Handling | Students > Student List |
We have improved how pre‑admission students are handled when they are imported via ATF (Admissions Transfer File) and CTF (Common Transfer File). Previously, these imported students did not become active until the Admission Date set in their Pre‑Admission Group, which limited their ability to be added to Groups, access MCAS functionality, and appear correctly in the Student List. They will now be treated as active from the date of import, matching the behaviour of manually created pre‑admission students and allowing earlier access to Groups, and MCAS. |
| Administration – Summer Census Details Expanded |
Modules > Census > School |
Census summary tables now feature the exact times an action took place in the Date Generated, Date Validated and Date Authorised columns.
Early Learning Hours The Pupil Reconciliation panel has been updated to ensure Early Years Hours are within these ranges:
Changes to key dates To comply with DfE requirements the following date changes have been made.
Updated XML and XSLT XSLT validation rules used to check XML files have been updated ahead of Summer Census. The new XML file title will now be 8012000_SC1_801LL26_001.XML

| Administration – Early Learning Funding and Allowances Upgrade for Summer Census |
Students > Student Details > Profile > Funding and Allowances > Additional Information |
For schools in England, “The child receives free early education” has been renamed “The child receives free Early Learning for 2 Year Olds” in the Funding and Allowances area and selecting the relevant criteria has been improved. This has been done to avoid errors during the Census process. |
