The LA should provide an ATF, but the previous school should upload CTF to S2S (DFE website) within 2 weeks of the child leaving and is usual for the previous school to upload these regardless whether the KS2 data is in or not, usually by the 1st of July. if you don't have many feeder schools, you can arrange with them for you to send an early CTF, so this will enable you to do the checks of the data on the application forms etc. If you do this manually, then sometimes if the address etc, phone number are different to what is on the MIS at the previous school, the CTF will override/add the info from the previous school, so that is why it is best to get a CTF uploaded to the S2s from the previous school. I hope that makes sense.
