Schools open for part of the financial year

Instructions for where schools are only open for part of the financial year.

We require returns for all maintained schools open during the financial year 2025 to 2026. Where part-year data is provided, 鈥楴鈥� should be entered in the 鈥楥omplete鈥� field.聽

For schools converting to academy status, the return should reflect the position at the point of conversion before the transfer of balances to the successor school.
