It is a matter of law that all schools, including independents, have to maintain an attendance register, taken both in the morning and afternoon. Failure to do so could result in a hefty fine. We thought we’d jot down a bit of helpful info to aid you in your endeavours. Whilst all this is covered in the full government guidance, we’ve narrowed it down for you.
Engagement
At the heart of a successful attendance strategy is getting all parties involved and engaged in your processes.
Consultation
Monitoring and Reporting
Wrapping It Up
At this point we could turn this article into a shameless plug for you to use our system, Schools BI, in your School, Academy or Multi-Academy Trust. That isn’t how we work though. We know that using your school data and analytics is key when implementing your Attendance strategy, but we’re pretty sure you already know this and have suffered through the limitations of reporting from your MIS already. So why don’t you research what opportunities there are to use business intelligence to improve and streamline the way in which you work. We’re all about making life easy at Schools BI, just get in touch if you’d like us to see if we can help.
