Where does the information in your education record come from?
The information shown on your education record comes from official data held by the Department for Education (DfE). This information is given to the DfE by your current school, previous schools and awarding organisations.
Your personal information including any financial or learning support needs comes from the last school you attended. If any of this information is wrong it has to be corrected at your school. Your school will then inform the DfE and your education record will be updated.
Your ‘qualifications’ information comes directly from the awarding organisations. If you think the qualifications and grades shown on your record are wrong, then you can raise a ‘data challenge’ with the awarding organisation.
Schools attended is worked out from which schools have provided information about you to the DfE from Years 9, 10 and 11. You may have multiple records shown if you have moved school within that time.
