- Institution record data update: Post-16 Characteristic data for Welsh institutions
The Institution records for Welsh Post-16 institutions have now been updated with the Characteristic data pertaining to 2024/25
We are pleased to announce that the following fields have been updated for Welsh Post-16 institutions, where data is available:
- ‘Pupil Counts’
- ‘Ethnicity’
- ‘Free School Meals’
- ‘Number Receiving Special Educational Needs (SEN) Support’
These fields can be found in the Characteristic tab of an Institution record, under the sections titled ‘Pupil Counts’ and ‘Pupil Characteristics’. This update relates to data for the 2024/25 Academic Year, which is the most recent available dataset, and applies to Post-16 institutions.
Export Institution Data for Targeting
These fields are also included in the General tab of the Institution Profile Report and can be exported from the database via an Institution Export.
The Institution Profile Report contains the Characteristic tab data alongside other key demographical information, such as the Destinations and Attainment data, to support effective targeting of schools and colleges based on learner characteristics. It is available for download from the Reports section of the database (members only).
Data Sources for Institution Records
To learn more about where we source our school and college data, alongside which fields are updated on the Institution record and when, please see the Institution Profile Source resource.
This can be accessed via the ellipsis (overflow menu) on any Institution record (members only) by selecting the option to ‘Download Source File’. Alternatively, this resource can be downloaded from the File Store (members only).
