Motivation
[edit]All school 'groups' in England, such as Multi-Academy Trusts, Single Academy Trusts and Federations, have a UID and linking to there provides a way to link to the schools in the group. --Quiettwenty (talk) 18:50, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
Discussion
[edit]Support Seems fine. I seem to recall this id coming up before though, can somebody check on the history of this? ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:05, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
- Oh, I see the DfE URN - can you explain how this is different? ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:06, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
- The DfE URN is for schools, each school will have one. The UID here is for groups such as academy trusts or federations. All groups have a UID and any school in a group is linked to it and that can be seen through GIAS. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Quiettwenty (talk • contribs) at 17:48, 6 October 2023 (UTC).
- got it, yes that makes sense. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:55, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
