How do LAs generate UPNs?
LAs can make use of the DCSF-produced spreadsheet to generate UPNs for these learners. There is also provision in the UPN system to use dummy school numbers between 3950 and 3999 and these numbers should be used in place of a DCSF establishment number in the generation of UPNs. If, and when, a learner is subsequently admitted to a maintained school the LA is responsible for notifying schools of any UPN it has allocated.
