It is important that schools have an effective process for managing their pupil attendance concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good escalation process that is well communicated and well executed is incredibly valuable for schools when exploring, understanding and overcoming barriers to pupil attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A suggested Attendance school escalation process<\/a> has been put together for schools to consider when designing their own process for supporting\/challenging pupil absence in their own settings <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Schools need to be able to access and analyse good pupil level and school level attendance data. Good data informs appropriate and effective practice. School Registers contain a wealth of attendance information that can help guide your school in the support\/challenge that it delivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schools should be comparing their school attendance data with Local and National Attendance Data. The DfE publishes it’s official validated National School Attendance Data<\/a> 3 times a year. You will also find unvalidated and experimental fortnightly data available, although this is only experimental and NOT validated it is good indicative data that gives a flavour of what is happening nationally with attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To support schools is managing attendance data, schools might find the Data target setting and analysis<\/a> guide useful. Also as a suggestion, you can find an example of a spreadsheet version of a Simple attendance tracker<\/a> that schools might find helpful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" School escalation process It is important that schools have an effective process for managing their pupil attendance concerns.
