Ever6 FSM

[Pipz]

Good morning all!

 

I'm seeing a substantial drop in ever 6 (110 between 19 and 20) whilst FSM numbers have actually increased - I've tried to run a Report to identify those FSM End dates that would drop off after 6 years but SIms isn't populating the end date in the report (despite data being in the relevant field!)

 

Anyone else seeing the same trends?

 

TIA

Hi pipz,

 

Weird that the end dates aren't showing up, are you running it with effective date of today?

 

On the question of whether it's expected I haven't seen any data but it wouldn't surprise me if high numbers became fsm 2008-2014 in the great recession who are now dropping out of the figures.

Many thanks - yep, I'd tried that but to no avail - to get the data more quickly I effected a manual check :')

 

Thanks for the observation - the time is also reflective of when an FSM co-ord left and another took over so there is potential that "house-keeping" may have had an effect as well as natural drop off!

Hi, the FSM end date is only populated when the student comes off FSM eligibility. If this date is within 6 years of the current date they are still flagged as PP. If there is no end date then they are considered to be still FSM and therefore PP and included in ever 6. To add to the confusion, if the student has got an end date but has become eligible for FSM again (after 6 Years from the end date) they are again ever 6 and until they have a new end date they are considered on FSM.

I have attached a couple of Report Definition files (one Secondary, one Primary) which give Ever 6 sent from our LA support. If you import them, re-save and change the default output to excel they do help in identifying which students are in this sort of category.

Oh, if they became FSM since the Census used for deciding on PP the won't be flagged as PP - just to make it even easier NOT!
