Core / Attendance Playbooks

Attendance bands organise the list. Staff choose the response.

Recorded attendance places pupils into defined bands; what happens next is chosen and recorded by staff.

Signals and suggested routes support professional enquiry. Staff decide what the evidence means and what should happen next.

Attendance Playbooks in action. Recorded attendance places pupils into defined bands; what happens next is chosen and recorded by staff.

From signal to support

From percentage to a chosen response

A band is a filing system, not a diagnosis. The playbook keeps the filing honest and the choosing human.

  1. 01

    The bands organise

    Recorded attendance places each pupil in a defined band, so the list has an order that everyone can see the logic of.

  2. 02

    Staff choose

    The response comes from the playbook's options, built-in strategies and the school's own interventions, chosen by a person who knows more than a percentage.

  3. 03

    The choice is recorded

    What was chosen sits on the record, so the follow-through can be followed.

Evidence in context

The logic on show

Bands with visible thresholds, responses chosen by people, and a record of what was chosen.

  • Defined bands from recorded attendance
  • Built-in strategies and school-authored interventions to choose from
  • Chosen responses kept on the record

What changes when Attendance Playbooks is connected

Follow-through that can be followed

The value of a connected school

See the pattern. Bring the context.

A change in attendance or behaviour is the start of a conversation. The connected pupil record helps staff ask a better next question.

Follow a connection to see what it makes possible

Relevant context, with access set by each staff member’s role and responsibilities. Staff decide the response.

  1. SEND + Core

    Check whether support is reaching the pupil

    Put attendance and behaviour alongside plans, provision and review evidence. Staff can investigate missed support before deciding what needs to change.

  2. Health + Core

    Bring health needs into the attendance conversation

    Authorised staff can check relevant medical needs and care plans when following up absence, then agree practical support with the family.

  3. Family communication + Core

    Keep the family conversation with the follow-up

    Read the contact history around a pupil before reaching out. Record the next action so another colleague can pick up the conversation with context.
