Data futures
The Student (22056) record collected by the designated data body (DDB) replaces the DDB’s legacy data collections, the Student record (CXX051) and Student Alternative record (CXX054).
Transitioning to the new data model requires that we update the data definition algorithms that the OfS applies to the student data collected by the DDB for our regulatory purposes.
In converting algorithms from the legacy data model to the new model, we have aimed to replicate the legacy algorithms wherever possible. This is to ensure that the converted algorithms remain in line with established OfS policy positions. This approach ensures a level of continuity between the data definitions applied to student data for the 2022-23 academic year and student data from earlier years.
We have not precisely replicated the legacy definition in a small number of cases where either:
- The new data model does not support direct replication of the previous definitions or produces a replication that is inconsistent with established policy positions. In these cases, we have worked within the new data model to develop an alternative definition which arrives at the established policy position.
- The new data model enables us to align better with the established policy position through minor refinements to the algorithm. In some cases, limitations of the legacy data model meant that legacy data definitions had to compromise on the extent to which they delivered the established policy position.
- The new data model enables a more efficient method to arrive at the established policy position.
Our approach may mean we have not yet maximised the added value of the new data model over the legacy model.
In due course we expect to review our data definitions further, to identify where we can make use of enriched information available in the new data model.
We would expect to consult on any material changes to our data definitions where necessary. In the meantime, we welcome feedback on the updated data definitions at [email protected].

| Student premiums |
The student premium (SP) funding data summary shows how we calculate two targeted allocations for each provider:
We determine the headcounts in the summary using the following datasets:
For further information on the funding methods and datasets used to calculate the targeted allocations shown in the summary, see the method document. The SP individualised file contains data from the datasets listed above, and fields that we have derived from them. For data protection reasons, we do not show data related to level 3 qualifications on entry if it is sourced from the ILR R14 and National Pupil Database datasets. Some of the derived fields from the HESES17 population output are used to calculate the SP derived fields. The individualised file containing these fields is provided as part of the funding data summaries. The algorithms for the derived fields in the SP and HESES17 comparison individualised files are included in the technical documents. |
| Very high-cost STEM subjects | The very high-cost STEM subjects funding data summary shows how we calculate the allocation from 2017-18 HESA student data. The allocation supplements the standard price group B high-cost subject funding and is based on the number of student FTEs in the following four subjects: chemistry; physics; chemical engineering; and mineral, metallurgy and materials engineering. |

Reconciliation exercise HESES17 comparison |
The HESES17 comparison outputs are a summary workbook which compares HESES17 data to HESES17 data recreated using the 2017-18 HESA student data, an individualised file and a modularised file. |
