Import DPP (Deprivation Pupil Premium) CSV File

The DfE has made two files available to schools. One file for

DPP (Deprivation Pupil Premium) and one for SCP (Service Child

Premium). Schools can also receive LAP (Looked After

Premium), but the DfE has not provided a file for this as the LA should provide the information to

schools.

The information display is exactly as found in the CSV file. The software

has not yet made any attempt to match this with SIMS pupil data.

Clicking Save initiates the matching routine. UPN and DOB are the only items that are not subject to change,

so the matching restricts itself to these two fields.

The exception log will tell us if any pupils could not be matched and have not therefore had a Pupil

Premium record stored in SIMS.

In a real school we doubt if there will be any pupils that aren’t matched,

but for the purposes of the demonstration we have created two

records in the file that can’t be matched

Please make a note of the Name, UPN and DOB for each record so

that we can find out why they haven’t been matched.

As you can see, Luke wasn’t matched because his DOB is the

04/08/1999 in SIMS but 05/08/1999 in the DPP file.

Paul Zeedan doesn’t exist in SIMS, so we can take it that the

The records are for the DfE financial year 2013/2014, which crosses academic

years 2012/13 and 2013/14. We have used this fact to

ensure that the pupils included have Pupil

Premium Indicator ticks for both 2012/13 and 2013/14.

We can check this by looking at the two pupils we noted the details of at the

start of presentation.

An important point to note is that the Pupil Premium Import will only ever add ticks and will never remove them. This

is important as some schools may choose not to import the files provided by the DfE, e.g. Their LA has already

provided them with the information they need, and others may be obtaining the information from a variety of sources.
