HESES10 re-creation

The HESES re-creation is a funding data reconciliation output that is a re-creation of the HESES10 workbook using 2010-11 HESA student data. It is primarily of interest to those responsible for student data, audit or finance.

The workbook (HESR10XXXX.xls, where XXXX denotes the HESA institution identifier) contains all original HESES10 tables, a copy of these tables that have been re-created using 2010-11 HESA student data and difference and summary tables.

HESES10 re-creation workbook

The HESES11 re-creation workbook and individualised file can be accessed from the HEFCE extranet (see see How to access outputs for further details). The main components of the HESES10 re-creation workbook are:

Coversheet - this page details how HESES re-creation data are used to inform the HESES re-creation coversheet. It also describes how these data can be rebuilt from the HESES re-creation individualised file.
Summary - this summarises the comparison of HESES10 and HESES10 re-creation, together with highlighting where problems of fit may occur and also specifying how the values can be rebuilt from the individualised file.
Funding worksheets - this page details how HESES re-creation data are used to inform the HESES re-creation funding worksheets.

Linking student instances between years

We have linked the 2010-11 HESA data to 2009-10 HESA data using the HUSID, UKPRN and NUMHUS (HIN) triple. This is to help account for definitional differences between HESA and HESES data.

These data from earlier years will be used to help determine the following:

Instance attributes for the first countable year for students who are generating two countable years (where one of the countable years is not a foundation degree bridging course).
FTE and price group distribution for final year students on non-standard academic years.

For the algorithms used to re-create Table 6 we have linked the 2010-11 HESA data to the 2008-09 and 2009-10 HESA returns using the HUSID and UKPRN combination. We linked across these three years of data to identify students that were not active at the institution in either of the two academic years prior to 2010-11.

Where a student (HUSID) from the 2010-11 HESA data had more than one record in the 2009-10 HESA return, we linked to records from the full-time undergraduate population (SNCFTUGPOP09 = 1) in preference to those not in the population.

If the student had more than one record with SNCFTUGPOP09 = 1 we linked to records that were active in 2009-10 (SNCACT09 = 1) in preference to those that were not active. If the student had more than one record with SNCACT09 = 1, we linked to the record with the lowest COURSEAIM09 value.

If this failed to uniquely identify the student we continued to prioritise using highest STULOAD09 value and then earliest COMDATE09 value until we identified a single record. We took an equivalent approach when linking to the 2008-09 HESA record.

Teaching grant information

Further details on each aspect of the calculation of teaching grant can be found in the 'Annex to funding agreement with higher education institutions' and 'Funding agreement with higher education institutions' on our Annual funding allocations page under 'For institutions'. The 2010-11 documents can be found in the Archive of funding allocations. In addition, the three worksheets (HBK, STD and F10) are described in more detail in Appendix 3, 'Guidance on the grant adjustment tables and related worksheets' of HESES10 (HEFCE 2010/26).
