What schools are saying

The attendance tracker looks great and it's really useful getting up to date information
I just wanted to say thank you as these reports are amazing! Our attendance officer is absolutely over the moon.
Attendance Tracker is fantastic. In the past I’ve had to do a lot of manual calculations, so Attendance Tracker has made a huge difference.
Thanks for the development of Attendance Tracker. I think that this will be a really useful tool for us!
The colour coding makes the report very easy to understand.
This has moved attendance on light years! I now print off the new 360 report for all our Governors and that’s it! I used to produce all this data myself but the new report is simple and saves huge amounts of time.
Colleagues will find this really useful, and we really appreciate the hard work, care and consideration that has gone into developing the attendance reports.

    The research behind Attendance Tracker

    Data and research go hand-in-hand. As well as providing schools with the latest attendance reporting tools, we think it’s equally as important to share our research about attendance patterns in schools.
