引言：国家学生数据库（NPD）是由英国政府教育部管理的记录级行政数据资源，用于资助目的，学校绩效表，政策制定和研究。数据来源：数据来自学校，考试颁发机构和地方当局，他们持续收集数据并定期或每年提交给教育部。NPD包含英格兰公立学校所有学生的儿童和学校数据（2016/17学年为660万）。主要模块是普查，其中有关于特征和入学情况的信息。其他模块包括替代规定，考试成绩，缺席和排除。儿童社会照料方面也提供了关于被转介接受支助的儿童和得到照料的儿童的数据。儿童的记录在不同的模块和不同的时间使用一个全国唯一的，匿名的儿童级标识符。链接到外部数据集也已完成使用儿童级identifiers.CONCLUSIONS：NPD是一个特别宝贵的数据资源，研究人员感兴趣的教育经验和成果的儿童和年轻人在英格兰。虽然由于没有包括私立学校的儿童或在家接受教育的儿童而受到限制，但它提供了关于大多数儿童的学校轨迹和成果的近乎完整的情况。与其他数据集的链接可以加强分析，并为那些否则将花费大量时间和难以找到的问题提供答案。
INTRODUCTION: The National Pupil Database (NPD) is a record-level administrative data resource curated by the UK government's Department for Education that is used for funding purposes, school performance tables, policy making, and research.PROCESSES: Data are sourced from schools, exam awarding bodies, and local authorities who collect data on an on-going basis and submit to the Department for Education either termly or yearly.DATA CONTENTS: NPD contains child-level and school-level data on all pupils in state schools in England (6.6 million in the 2016/17 academic year). The primary module is the census, which has information on characteristics and school enrolment. Other modules include alternative provision, exam attainment, absence and exclusions. Data from children's social care are also available on children referred for support and those who become looked after. Children's records are linkable across different modules and across time using a nationally unique, anonymised child-level identifier. Linkage to external datasets has also been accomplished using child-level identifiers.CONCLUSIONS: The NPD is an especially valuable data resource for researchers interested in the educational experience and outcomes of children and young people in England. Although limited by the fact that children in private schools or who are home schooled are not included, it provides a near-complete picture of school trajectories and outcomes for the majority of children. Linkage to other datasets can enhance analyses and provide answers to questions that would otherwise be costly, time consuming and difficult to find.
