Initial Teacher Training 2022/23 (C22053) Notification of Changes

Published: 31/01/2022

This page summarises the changes to the ITT record that will be implemented for 2022/2023 (C22053)

As the ITT record will continue to run as a separate return, the changes to the record are being made so that ITT will align as closely as possible with Data Futures. The aim being to help reduce the amount of data that providers will need to collect.

These changes are in addition to the Initial Teacher Training 2022/23 (C22053): Notification of changes to personal characteristics data

Schema change

The XSD will be in alphabetical order. As previously advised in the C21053 Notification of Changes

This change will only impact the position of two fields - Placement.PLMNTSCH and Placement.PLMNTDYS. Their position will be swapped.

Guidance / format change

The coverage and format of the field will be updated to allow providers to return SID for new students or HUSID for continuing students 

Schema change to match Data Futures to increase field length to 17 and enforce the return of either 13 or 17 digits  

Quality rules will be updated to ensure that a 13 digit HUSID is for continuing students only based on COMDATE 

Schema change to increase field length to 50 to allow same number of characters for a COURSEID to match Data Futures  

Schema change to increase field length to 50 to allow same number of characters for NUMHUS to match Data Futures  

Schema change to increase field length to 50 to allow same number of characters for  OWNSTU to match Data Futures  

The field name and guidance will be changed to read Student.TRN the same as Data Futures

New fields

This is a new field that has been added due to the removal of SPLENGTH and UNITLENGTH to align with Data Futures.  In Data Futures the equivalent field (ENGEXPECTEDENDATE) is part of the Engagement entity but for ITT it will be part of the Student entity to remain consistent with the rest of the ITT record structure.   

Name Expected end date 

Short Name EXPECTEDENDDATE 

Parent Entity Student 

Type Field 

Applicable To   England

Coverage   All Students where there is a defined normal length for the programme of study 

Description This field records the expected end date for the Instance 

Notes

For taught students, this should include any planned assessment periods but not retakes. 

For research students where the programme includes a planned writing-up period, this should be included in the expected period of study. 

This field does not need to be returned where there is not a defined normal length for the programme of study, for example fully flexible courses.  

This field must be updated where there are any changes to the expected end date of the Instance. Examples will include but are not limited to: 

  • Students transferring between courses with different expected end dates 

  • Students deciding to take or not take a sandwich placement 

  • Students taking an agreed break in learning 

  • Students needing to resit part of their course 

All date fields must be completed using the ISO8601 format of YYYY-MM-DD. 

Reason Required  

To allow a forecast of when an Instance is expected to end and compare this to the actual end date. This helps to identify any issues that may arise due to errors or late QTS awards and to forecast the number of trainees due to complete in a given period. 

Field Length 10 

Fields removed

This field will be removed as not recorded in Data Futures and no longer required in the ITT record as it has been replaced by the new Student.EXPECTENDDATE field
