Beginner’s Guide to Understanding & Analysing Attendance Data as a Head of Year – Pastoral Staff

This 11 page guide is designed to walk you through the practical steps of analysing attendance data, even if you’re starting from scratch. By the end, you’ll hopefully feel confident checking your year group’s data, spotting trends, and taking meaningful action.

In this resource we cover three things in depth:

• an overview of reasons for poor attendance
• the basics of analysing attendance, and the interventions you can take
• the legal processes including the lettering process
