Description
The National Pupil Database (NPD) is compiled for the Department for Education (DfE) from data supplied by local authorities, centres and awarding organisations. The NPD is a collection of data covering all pupils within schools in England up to the age of 19. There are four main extracts of the NPD shared. The NPD exam results datasets contain pupil-level results data by qualification taken for Key Stages 4 and 5, covering A levels, GCSE and other general and vocational/technical qualifications, as provided by awarding organisations. It includes aggregated achievement indicators, such as those related to EBacc, Attainment 8 and Progress 8. The NPD pupil datasets contain data on pupils, including demographic and protected characteristics, such as gender, age, language spoken, free school meal eligibility and special educational needs. Information on the centre attended by pupils is also available, covering the type of school or institution, its description, whether the main language is English or Welsh and the school admissions policy. Additional information on pupils is also available in the census datasets. This includes further socio-demographic characteristics (eg ethnicity) and socio-economic indicators (eg IDACI score). The NPD also contains data on pupils prior attainment including achievement indicators, teacher assessments and test results for Key Stages 1 and 2.
