Modules > Census > School

The following changes have been made to the summer Census and beyond, as a result of the Spring Budget:

• The funded hours have been updated. As of April 2024, all eligible working parents of two-year-olds are able to access funding for 15 hours per week of education and care, for 38 weeks of the year.
• A new column Expanded Hours has been added to the Pupil Reconciliation panel to track early years funding for pupils aged 2 years at 31 March 2024 (pupils born between 01.04.2021 and 31.03.2022). This column will be used to add up to an additional 15 hours of Funded Early Year Childcare for that student. 

The Expanded Hours field above can only be used if the Eligibility Code (previously named Thirty Hour Code which has been renamed to reflect the addition of the new Expanded Hours field) has been added to the Student > Student Details > Profile > Funding & Allowances > Additional Information tab.

Note: Census data prior to Summer 2024 will still have the Thirty Hour Code tag, but will now be seen as Eligibility Code on the Student Record.
