Important

From January 2024, college financial data will be collected through DfE Sign-in and you will no longer be able to access IDAMS. You will need to submit annual financial planning returns, capital applications and annual financial statements returns through DfE Sign-in.

If you have not already registered for DfE Sign-in, please follow the registration instructions here (opens in new tab). Please contact us through the ESFA Enquiry Form (Opens in new tab) if you have any questions.
