Recording your T Level data accurately

Making errors in your T Level data recording could have a significant financial impact. It could lead to a larger than expected recovery of funding at the T Level funding reconciliation point in early 2025. We cannot recalculate T Level funding because of data recording errors.

We strongly encourage you to submit your autumn school census or R04 before the return deadlines (6 November 2024 for the autumn census and 5 December 2024 for the R04) so you can review your data submitted and make amendments where needed.

You can review your 16 to 19 funding reports in the funding information system (FIS), submit learner data (for those who complete the ILR) and COLLECT (for schools who complete the autumn census) as these will identify your T Level students and the funding bands assigned to them.

If some T Level students are not displaying as you expected, you can use the checklist provided at the bottom of the record your T Level data correctly guidance to ensure you have recorded all programme elements correctly. For example, if students are recorded in a lower funding band, this may be because the planned hours were recorded for 1 academic year instead of 2.
