The DfEE has confirmed that AS1 returns are NOT required in respect of second year continuing students. BURY are quite wrong to insist. Some LEAs have had problems because they have tried to run both old award and new-style students on the same software, and say that their systems cannot distinguish between the two. In the last resort tell Bury to talk to DfEE Student Support Division 2.
