Attendance intelligence, leadership and professional learning in one workspace.
For MATs, schools, sixth forms, sixth-form colleges, FE colleges and education professionals. Build strategy, train roles, interrogate data, review practice and strengthen support — with editable resources you can actually adapt and use.
Built for different education settings — not one generic audience.
The strongest attendance systems respect phase and context. Post-16 attendance, for example, needs to be read alongside engagement, retention, study programme and progression.

Strategic Attendance Maturity Pulse
An eight-question leadership temperature check. Score 1–4 and use the result to decide which Deep Dive to run next.

Leaders understand patterns, cohorts and causes — not only percentages.
Registers, missing marks and first-day response are reliable.
SEND, health, safeguarding and disadvantage are built into response.
Communication is early, respectful and changes plans.
Barriers, support, voice, action and impact are visible.
Each role receives training appropriate to its contribution.
Governance and leaders know what is changing and why.
