Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

Data from the annual independent schools STATS1 return which collects aggregate data from independent schools. This includes data for schools, pupils, teachers, Welsh language, additional learning needs and special educational needs.

Data collection or calculation

The data in this report is collected by the Welsh Government from independent schools in a return called STATS1. Each school is responsible for completing their aggregate return and submitting it to the Welsh Government through DEWI, a secure online data transfer system developed by the Welsh Government.

Statistical quality

The returns are authorised by headteachers.

The school census date is usually in January. Due to the level of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in January 2022, the 2022 census date was delayed to 15 February 2022. School closures between December 2020 and March 2021 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic meant that the 2021 census date was delayed to 20 April 2021. School closures due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic meant that the 2020 independent schools data collection was not completed.
