Attendance

Monitoring your child's attendance

Selecting this tab will present you with a table of your child’s attendance data for the past 31 days.


To change the displayed time frame of attendance records, click on the Date button and select the date range of your choice.


Attendance records fall under four categories: Present, Late, Authorised absence and Unauthorised absence.


Present: Your child attended the lesson.

Late: Your child was late to the lesson.

Authorised absence: Your child did not attend the lesson, but had a valid reason for doing so.

Unauthorised absence: Your child did not attend the lesson and did not have a valid reason.

Reporting an absence

If your school has decided to allow parents to report absences, you will see the Absences tab when viewing pupils from that school.

Selecting this tab will display a list of absences that you have reported, once you have reported them. This includes when the absence took place, the reason for the absence and who acknowledged your absence report.

To report an absence, click on the Report new absence button.


Next, enter the details of the reported absence into the form provided.

You can also include up to 5 files in your absence report as supporting evidence. To do this, click on the Attach supporting evidence button and select the files of your choice.

Click on the Submit button to send your pupil’s absence report to their school. The absence can be edited and deleted until it has been acknowledged by a teacher.
