Alternative Provision Census

The Alternative Provision Census is a statutory annual collection of individual pupil data from English local authorities and covers all pupils who are either:
attending a school not maintained by a Local Authority for whom the authority is paying full tuition fees; or
are educated under arrangements made and funded by the authority, but not in a school or a pupil referral unit.
The Alternative Provision Census collects information about individual pupils, including the type of provision they receive, free school meal eligibility, ethnicity and special educational needs.
The Alternative Provision Census began in 2008 and is collected annually each year in January. Prior to the introduction of the pupil level Alternative Provision Census, aggregated data was collected from Local Authorities via the Form 8b data collection.
The Alternative Provision census contains pupil level data.

《替代教育普查》是一项法定年度收集英格兰地方当局个别学生数据的统计工作，涵盖所有以下情况的学生：一是就读于地方当局不维持的学校，且当局承担全部学费；二是根据地方当局安排并由其资助的教育，但不在学校或学生转介单位接受教育。替代教育普查收集有关个别学生的信息，包括他们接受的教育类型、免费学校餐食资格、种族和特殊教育需求。该普查始于2008年，每年1月进行年度收集。在引入学生级别替代教育普查之前，通过8b表格收集了地方当局的汇总数据。替代教育普查包含学生级别的数据。
