Why now?
Last academic year, 27.8% of secondary school students and 19.7% of primary school pupils were identified as persistently absent.*
To address this, we have launched Understanding Attendance, a project helping schools and trusts to identify the underlying drivers of pupil absence in their setting, and supporting them to assess the impact of their interventions.
Understanding Attendance provides the tools to tailor and target your approach, and see where your support for pupils can make the biggest impact on attendance next year.

Your attendance diagnostic
By taking part in this diagnostic study, over the next two terms you will be able to:
Understand the drivers of pupils absence in your setting using nationally benchmarked tools
Select the measures most relevant to your setting to create short pupil-facing diagnostic
Access live reports on our platform
Interpret and use your data with our 1:1 support to inform next steps
We believe that, when done well, meaningful impact evaluation can help drive meaningful decision making to support you to do more of what is working best, and less of what is not!
The process
Phase 1: Understand the Drivers of Low Attendance
Over a two term period, your school will have access to a range of diagnostic tools that will provide a good understanding of the drivers of absence in your setting.
You will be able to benchmark data against national statistics, and access tools and measures that create a short pupil-facing diagnostic.
Just a few of our measures you'll access:
Phase 2: Evaluate the Impact of Interventions
Based on the findings from phase 1 as well as data from other schools and Trusts involved in the project, we will advise highly effective, evidence-based interventions to put in place.
With the support of the ImpactEd team, you will then be able to evaluate the impact your interventions are having on attendance rates across the whole school, as well as specific pupil groups.
