This spreadsheet is designed to be used to track attendance for a year group.
It is set up into three sheets.
The first is for tracking attendance year to date and tracking weekly attendance as well.
The second is set up to track the multiple interventions which you may use to try and raise attendance.
The final is for tracking attendance rewards to ensure your rewards are well distributed.
The first sheet is conditionally formatted - this means that the sheet will change colour depending on the % of attendance inputted. This will give you a visual overview of any students who are concern.
All of the sheets have been set up to filter - so you can easily find a student name or see who has had rewards etc.
