Attendance Co-ordinator Audit and Strategy

Are you thinking about how to improve attendance on a strategic level? This bundle supports exactly that, with attendance audits, action plans, strategy documents and more. Designed from the latest guidance in Working Together to Improve School Attendance, it allows attendance officers, leads and co-ordinators to look at the bigger picture of attendance in their schools then use their findings to address gaps.

Included in this pack:

• Attendance Audit - over 70 questions for you to reflect on your setting’s practice, including sections on attendance policy & procedures, analysing barriers, exploring attendance trends and patterns, attendance intervention, communication and safeguarding, and attendance enforcement. Find your current strengths and areas of improvement.
• Attendance Action Plan - use the gaps identified in your audit and turn them into tangible actions with this handy plan.
• Attendance Strategy - create this whole-school document, which contains prompts to help you, to share your vision and benchmarks for attendance with staff, governors/trustees and other stakeholders.
• Attendance Template Letters - Use these to pre-populate your own letters on your school’s headed paper or insert the text into your management information system (MIS) to save time when informing parents of their child’s absence levels. There are 15 individual letters covering a range of situations, such as concerns about authorised absences, invites to attendance meetings, term-time holiday requests and more.
• Attendance Co-Ordinator Job Description - whether you’re called an attendance officer, leader, manager, co-ordinator or something else, this document covers the responsibilities of the role and includes a person specification. It’s perfect if you’re looking to firm up your (or your attendance coordinator’s) responsibilities or if you’re looking to appoint someone to this post.
• Example Ofsted Attendance Questions - whether you’re due an inspection or not, this document can help you understand the types of questions Ofsted ask about attendance. Use it to reflect on the depth of knowledge about your current practice or to prepare for an inspection if you feel the need to build your confidence.
