Disadvantaged pupil attendance tracker termly reports

Using your SIMS data, we will set up your disadvantaged (vulnerable) groups. Then to regularly monitor the comparative attendance data of your disadvantaged pupils, all you need do (ever again!) is to e-mail us a timely SIMS Report at the end of each half term. These reports, over time, will provide evidence of your use of comparative and longitudinal data to monitor and analyse the attendance of your disadvantaged pupils. We will do the data crunching, allowing you more time to focus on using this data to support the improved attendance and attainment of your disadvantaged pupils.

We will collate data from your attendance software and prepare reports that allow you to:

• Monitor pupil attendance on an individual pupil and group level (PA, PP*, FSM, SEN, CIC, EAL and by gender)
• Compare your groups with the latest available national and local published data (from the latest DfE Statistical Releases)
• Monitor the gaps between your disadvantaged groups and your non-disadvantaged groups (Diminishing the Distance)
• Monitor the percentage of PA in each of your disadvantaged groups (example – 25% of your FSM Pupils are Persistently Absent)
• Identify your PA pupils that sit in more than one disadvantaged group
