[Yr11 Information Technology] wikisapces

[Mark Kelly]

There's no guarantee it it won't be reused.  AFAIK, when a kid exits the 
college (and CASES), their ID becomes re-available for re-use. 
Recycling IDs has been a long-term problem: we faced it when tracking 
exited kids' archived results.  The same ID would reappear attached to a 
different kid!

I believe CASES21 has a unique (and unwieldy) birth-to-grave ID key 
buried deep in it, so kids can be tracked from school to school, from 
primary to secondary etc. It's not frequently used... yet
