Working together to improve school attendance
An invitation for schools to share daily attendance data and use attendance reports to view severe absence
73% of schools in England (173 schools in Warwickshire) are now sharing daily attendance data with the DfE. Sharing data gives you access to daily attendance reports on view your education data.
After you share data, you will be emailed when your reports are ready to view. This can take up to 4 weeks. You can now use the reports to view severely absent pupil data. This is when a pupil is absent for at least 50% of the time. This group is a top priority for schools.
To share daily attendance data, please accept the request in your Wonde portal. If you do not use Wonde, you should have an information email from them. You can email Wonde directly if you have not received this.
If you have not been able to access your reports, please read our help article.
You can also view a public dashboard for pupil attendance and absence in England, so you can make local authority, regional and national comparisons.
Reminders
- Working together to improve school attendance is now the attendance guidance that should be used for schools, trusts, governing bodies and local authorities.
- Improving attendance: good practice for schools and multi-academy trusts. There are some really useful effective practice attendance webinars produced by the DfE in conjunction with schools, with good or improved attendance, sharing their good practice. It is highly recommended that your attendance lead/champion access this free resource.
- Additional attendance resources are available on the Education Huband Teaching Blogs
- The code ‘X’ code can no longer be used in the attendance register to record COVID-19 related absence.
