School Census Bulletin 2 – Known Issues / Updates – Summer 2025


Date: 13th May 2025

DfE School Census Date: Thurs 15th May 2025

Return Date: Tues 20th May 2025

Due to the early half term, it is important that you upload your census file as soon as possible and by Tuesday 20th May.  This will enable our team to check your data during the half term break and liaise with you regarding any queries on your return.  Due to the half term break there is a shorter turnaround time to approve census files to the DfE by their deadline.

We are aware that this may be your first census using Bromcom or you may be completely new to census.  If you are having any concerns at all, please contact us by emailing census@devon.gov.uk giving details of the problem and a contact telephone number, and someone from the team will contact you to help.


Bromcom users – Known issues – Updates

At the time of publication, the DfE have identified a display issue in the Summary Table headers for Table 12.  The Spring Term End Date is incorrectly displayed as 31st March 2025 instead of 20th April 2025.  This is a display issue only and the data is still returned using the correct dates.

Please monitor the Scomis Summer School Census Bulletin for the latest information. 

Support

If you have any queries, or if this is your first census, please email census@devon.gov.uk and someone from the Education Information Team will contact you to provide support and guidance.
