Attendance Tracking
Attendance Tracking compares booked sessions with recorded attendance, and turns a missing mark into an owned follow-up rather than an absence.

Alternative Provision / Attendance and Statutory Evidence
Attendance a commissioner can check, with the gaps shown as gaps.
Compare the sessions that were booked with what was recorded. Participation counts only sessions with an official mark, coverage shows how many expected sessions have been marked, and missing marks become follow-up tasks rather than absences.
Figures show what has been recorded. Missing marks are flagged for staff to follow up, never filled in for them.
From register to evidence
From today’s marks to an evidence file
The same session records feed tracking, reporting and the evidence export.
01
Track booked attendance
See expected, present, confirmed absent and unrecorded sessions over 7 or 28 days, with the time each pupil actually attended.
02
Follow up the gaps
Start follow-up turns a missing mark into an owned task, and the review is recorded with a next review date.
03
Report and export
Compare four weeks with the four before, then preview and export the evidence as CSV or as a PDF with your branding.

Attendance Reporting
Attendance Reporting compares this four weeks with the last, shows persistent and severe absence, and breaks rates down by pupil and commissioning school.
Part of the Attendance and Statutory Evidence workflow
Recorded, missing, absent
A missing mark is not an absence
Participation divides attended sessions by sessions with an official mark. Unmarked sessions are left out and shown as gaps, so a missing record never quietly changes the figure.
- Coverage shows the share of expected sessions with a mark
- Missing marks become owned follow-up tasks
- The time attended recorded alongside each mark
Reporting
Persistent and severe absence, by pupil and by commissioning school
Attendance Reporting compares the latest four weeks with the four before, counts persistent absence below 90% and severe absence below 50%, and shows an eight-week trend against a 90% line.
- Rates broken down by pupil and by commissioning school
- Statutory attendance evidence as CSV or branded PDF, previewed first
- A portability export as a ZIP of CSVs or one Excel workbook, with each export audited
Registered-setting evidence
Whether an export counts as evidence for a registered setting depends on the regulatory status your provision has recorded and reviewed.
Figures you can explain
Percentages come with the sessions behind them and the marks still missing.
Participation and coverage kept apart
Staff can tell low attendance from incomplete recording.
Absence seen early
Persistent and severe absence are visible by pupil and by commissioning school.
Evidence ready to send
Exports are previewed, branded and audited, and nothing is sent automatically.

The value of a connected school
A placement touches more than the timetable.
Provider staff use the same safeguarding and health tools as mainstream schools, and commissioning schools on Student Radar have their own side of the placement.

Raise a concern from the pupil you are working with
Provider staff can raise a concern and authorised DSLs work it on the DSL Action Board, with the chronology and record transfer in the same place. Safeguarding records are never shared through commissioner access.

Check medical needs before an off-site session
Authorised staff can check medical needs, medications and healthcare plans for the young people in the provision before a session, and record first aid when something happens.

Schools that commission placements keep a provider register with due-diligence checks, placement checks before, during and after the placement, and an evidence pack they can export.
