Abstract: This document specifies the common transfer file, CTF 20, to be implemented in school systems from August 2020 and before 1 September 2020. This document will enable the suppliers of management information systems to schools to develop their software to generate and export CTFs from those systems. The common transfer file (CTF) is the mechanism whereby schools transfer “common transfer information” to a subsequent school when a pupil leaves as specified in the Education (Pupil Information) (England) Regulations 2005 Statutory Instrument (S.I.) and subsequent amendments (2005, 2008, 2016, 2018, 2019). There is equivalent legislation for Wales. This document also includes information about xml data transfers. These are used as a mechanism for transferring pupil data within the education sector for pupils who are not moving school, for example when sending selected assessment records to the local authority or central government
