Post-collection outputs
ILR post-collection outputs
After a provider has submitted final individualised data to the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), we create files called post-collection outputs.
These outputs are released via the '2022-23 post-collection outputs' group on the OfS portal. The 2022-23 ILR post-collection outputs consist of the following:
- The student numbers post-collection outputs
- the transparency attainment summary post-collection outputs
- the reconciliation exercise.
We previously expected a funding data summary to be included in the ‘2022-23 post-collection outputs’, with the intention of showing how 2022-23 ILR data is used in calculating the 2024-25 student premium allocations.
Instead, the decision was taken to use 2021-22 ILR data in calculating the 2024-25 student premium allocations. Therefore, a new funding data summary has been included in the 2021-22 post-collection outputs.
The target audience for this information is registered providers that make ILR returns.
For all post-collection outputs, we use derived fields to determine whether to include a student in an output population, such as the HESES population.
We provide a CSV file with each output that contains individualised student data. For each record, we show the value of every derived field and the data that we have used to calculate them. We also provide a technical document and rebuild instructions for each output. These specify how derived fields have been calculated and how to filter individualised student data using our derived fields to find students included in aggregated data.
2022-23 ILR data
We previously listed funding data summaries in the release schedule with an expected release date of June 2024, with the intention of showing how 2022-23 ILR data is used in calculating the 2024-25 student premium allocations.
However, the decision was taken to instead use 2021-22 ILR data in calculating the 2024-25 student premium allocations. Therefore, a new funding data summary has been included in the 2021-22 post-collection outputs.

The post-collection outputs are released via the ‘2022-23 post-collection outputs’ group on the OfS portal. Access to the ‘2022-23 post-collection outputs’ group can be granted by the portal user administrator for each registered provider. More information on each of the outputs is provided below.
Student number post-collection outputs
The student numbers post-collection outputs provide the full-time equivalent student numbers by level of study using the 2022-23 Student (22056) and ILR data. These are the student numbers that the OfS will use for various regulatory purposes, including for setting registration fees and assessing applications for degree awarding powers, university title and university college title.
Transparency attainment summary post-collection outputs
The 2022-23 transparency attainment summary post-collection outputs provide the individualised data used to create the summarised attainment information of students qualifying in 2022-23. These figures are produced using the 2022-23 Student (22056) and ILR data.
Funding data summaries
2024-25 student premiums
2021-22 ILR data has been used in calculating the 2024-25 student premiums, instead of the 2022-23 ILR data. Therefore a new funding data summary has been included in the 2021-22 ILR post-collection outputs.
See further information on this output and the associated documentation.
Reconciliation exercise HESES22 comparison
The HESES22 comparison outputs are a summary workbook which compares HESES22 data to HESES22 data recreated using the 2022-23 ILR data and an individualised file.
