Every pupil has a story…
At the core of our system are your pupils. Their attendance journeys are your attendance story.
Whether it's groups of pupils or individual students, Attendance Tracker displays each pupil's attendance journey, allowing you to identify needs and support children and young people more effectively.
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.
