Title
All Schools: 2001 dataset
Date

2001

Description
This dataset comprises data gathered from all schools in England during the Schools' Census conducted by the Department for Education in 2001.The enumeration date was the third Thursday in January, 18th January 2001. Most of the data reflects the position in schools on that date, though some questions required schools to supply data for different periods. For example, primary and secondary schools were asked to give the numbers of teaching staff and the hours worked by non-teaching staff during the week beginning 15th January 2001. The 2001 dataset contains the following types of data in seven tables: (1) All Schools 2001: This table contains data on the school, pupils, classes, and teaching staff. (2) Pupils 2001: This table contains totals of full-time and part-time boy and girl pupils; totals of full-time and part-time boy and girl pupils in nursery classes in primary schools; and data on dually and solely registered pupils. The field AGE_C, which contains 24 values which correspond to the age ranges as usually set out on the Form 7 forms, allows greater flexibility in the analysis of the data. (3) Courses of study 2001: The table contains information on courses of study followed by older pupils for secondary schools (including Independent schools and City Technology Colleges). This table shows numbers of pupils aged between 16-19 and over on 31st August 2000, analysed by course of study. Types of course are listed in the field COURSE_C. (4) Teaching staff 2001: Total numbers of male and female teaching staff, by type of teacher, and whether full-time or part-time; and data on the full-time equivalents of part-time staff. The four fields TCHRTYP_1, TCHRTYP_2, TCHRTYP_3 and TCHRTYP_4, containing between them the names of 15 teacher types, allow for flexibility in the analysis of the data. Among the teacher types are teachers of minority ethnic pupils who were employed to 'meet the particular needs' of such pupils, or as 'teachers of English as a second language'. (5) Non-teaching staff 2001: This table gives total numbers of support staff, and also provides information on their categories and working hours, and whether full-time or part-time. The categories of non-teaching staff include Education Support Staff (E.S.S.) (eg nursery assistants, special needs support staff, bilingual assistants); Other Education Support Staff (O.E.S.S.) (matrons and nurses, medical staff, librarians etc); and administrative/clerical staff (eg secretaries, bursars). (6) Classes as taught 2001: Schools were asked to provide information on classes as taught during a selected period on the day of enumeration. The data in this table is analysed by class type, class number, numbers of pupils, numbers of teachers, class size breakdown, and numbers of teachers and non-teaching staff in class. Data on Key Stage and Activity of the class is also available. The 2001 dataset uses six new fields (clasnum1-clasnum6). They do not relate to any of the data items collected by the Census, and were variables generated by the Department as a means of identifying each separate class within each school. (7) Permanent Exclusions 2001: This table recorded the numbers of permanent exclusions for the academic year 1999-2000. Schools entered detail on the gender, age (as at 31st August 1999), ethnicity and statement of special educational needs of the excluded pupils. If an excluded pupil had been reinstated following an appeal, they were not counted in the survey.
