Fileset 3303 corrects the following three validations:

• Query 1881: Please check the entry date as the sessions possible indicate that the pupil attended the school during the term prior to this date. If the pupil left and was subsequently readmitted, the query will be accepted by DfE on condition that a suitable explanatory notepad entry is provided.

• Error 2500: For pupils on roll, the attendance sessions possible must be greater than or equal to zero.

• Error 2520: Please check: sessions possible should not be greater than 150.

The following problems may still remain however:

• 1881Q: Please check the entry date as the sessions possible indicate that the pupil attended the school during the term prior to this date. If the pupil left and was subsequently readmitted, the query will be accepted by DfE on condition that a suitable explanatory notepad entry is provided.
