A tracking and intervention spreadsheet - this conditionally formatted spreadsheet allows you to track your year group attendance weekly and allows you to track your interventions also. Attendance interview template - this is a template for used in a school attendance panel or similar meeting and is helpful to identify any concerns as well as formalise the process of monitoring attendance 6 week monitoring card - this is a card which can be printed and handed to students, or stuck into homework diaries etc, this is designed to be completed weekly with attendance and can be used to monitor the 6 week improvement period of students below thresholds of your choice (90/95 etc). Attendance improvement plan - this an example improvement plan for heads of year to use when trying to target attendance.

In these three PDFs, I answer 15 big pastoral questions. These are intended to support existing or new heads of year as well as being potential questions you may get asked on interview. This set includes questions like: how do you create year group cohesion? why are assemblies important? what is included in a successful form time? why is monitoring attendance important? how do you improve the resilience of your year group? what should you do with your failing FT? why are form tutors important? how do you deal with an angry parent? how do you lead a team? The answers to these questions are suggestions only – they are not necessarily definitive. If preparing for interview, I always recommend you tailor your questions to the school you’re applying to and ensure you are giving specific examples of what you’re able to offer. If in post, always remember the policies of your school.

In this resource there is 2 example head of year or head of house application letters/supporting statements. These are different styles of letter but are both made using my experience of head of year interviews. They are great for reading in preparation for writing your own letter. Please remember - these letters are frameworks for your own. I do not recommend sending blanket letters to schools and I would always tailor letters to fit the specific role you’re applying for.
