Error 5420Q

DfE Validation:

  • Where <HoursAtSetting> is greater than or equal to 25, <PartTime> should equal ‘false’
  • Please check: The number of hours at setting indicates that the pupil may be attending the school full time. However, they have been recorded as part-time

Explanation:

  • It is NOT expected by the DfE that a student attending more than 25 hours a week would be flagged as part-time.
  • To check the Hours at Setting for the Student go to Modules>Census>School>Select return>Edit>Pupil Reconciliation>Hours at Setting. For DfE guidance on Hours at Setting see here.
  • To check if a Student is flagged as Part Time go to Students>View>Student Profile>Enrolment>Key Data>Edit Key Data>Attendance Mode.
  • If both the Hours at setting and Attendance Mode are correct you will need to submit a validation note with collect.
