Hi Jakob,

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, the a_schsta variable is not so relevant, because I am interested in the types of schools previously attended by young adult respondents. My understanding is that this information is, however, available from schcode for individuals aged 16+, born after 1981 who attended school in the UK (or who are still at school).

The linking of data with national school codes (available under special license) would be of particular interest. Since writing, I have started looking at Wave 2 data, and unlike Wave 1, the schcode variable is actually already in the dataset. It seems that this is only coded for new entrants? Or for a particular sub-sample? I am now a little confused about the access to this variable and how it should be used? I would be very grateful if you could please explain it further.

Thank you,
Lorraine

Ok, thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Lorraine
