Merge pupil records

All schools can now request to merge an included pupil’s record with another pupil’s record, whether that pupil is included or not, in their performance measures data.

If we’ve listed duplicate pupil records by mistake, for example because names or dates of birth are different, you can ask to merge them into one record. 

Evidence you must provide 

You must provide the following information and evidence, or your request will be rejected:

  • the CYPMD ID of the pupil record you want to delete and merge (this is in the pupil CSV file)
  • further details explaining why the pupil records should be merged
