SIMS School Workforce Census
Please note: We can do ALL of your 21/22 returns, so get in touch today
Crikey it’s time for the SWC!…that means you’ll soon start to hear the “C” word (shhhhh)
Before we get ahead of ourselves, let's see what we need to do to help you through your staff Census.
The all-important dates!
- Census Date: Thursday 4th November 2021
- Absence Dates: 01/09/2020 – 31/08/2021
- Contract Dates: 01/09/2020 – 04/11/2021
So, what’s changed?
The new data item on the list this year is the NQT Status.
This can be accessed via Staff > Professional Details. It does have a dependency on ‘QT Status’ being ticked.
The NQT Status will be left blank by default, if left blank this will automatically be populated when the return is generated as ‘Not in year 1 or 2 or QT status induction’.
For NQTs in their first year, this will need to be edited annually for subsequent years to show their progression.
But don’t worry there’s no need to retrospectively enter data for all teachers. There is currently no validation for this data item.
Want to check your NQT Status’s?
Then head to the Detailed Report and the Workforce Member Professional Details panel.
