This 11 page guide is designed to walk you through the practical steps of analysing attendance data, even if you’re starting from scratch. By the end, you’ll hopefully feel confident checking your year group’s data, spotting trends, and taking meaningful action.
In this resource we cover three things in depth:
- an overview of reasons for poor attendance
- the basics of analysing attendance, and the interventions you can take
- the legal processes including the lettering process
NOTE: this resource is not an exhaustive method for analysing data and is intended to support new Heads of Year/Pastoral staff in understanding attendance data
