Registers are early warning systems
Persistent absence patterns show up weeks before exam failure. Safeguarding teams need timely data, not monthly summaries.
Daily homeroom marks are the baseline most schools start with. Period attendance adds precision for secondary timetables.
Schoolyi attendance reads class lists teachers already see in their hub.
Calendar-aware working days
Marking attendance on a public holiday skews percentages. Working days and holidays come from the academic calendar.
Inset days and professional development closures should not count as student absence.
Term boundaries matter when comparing Month 1 versus Month 2 reports for governors.
Teacher marking in the corridor
Homeroom teachers mark all present or flag absentees in under two minutes.
Period teachers mark only their lesson - useful when students leave early for sport or medical appointments.
Tablet-friendly screens help floating staff between rooms.
Parent notifications without staff texting
Configure alerts when absence exceeds thresholds or when no reason was submitted.
Official channel beats personal WhatsApp for compliance and record-keeping.
Parents can submit expected absence notes through portal where enabled.
Office views and follow-up lists
Reception sees who is marked absent before calls flood in at 9:15.
Pastoral leads filter chronic absence by year group for intervention meetings.
Export formats for local authority returns should match IDs in SIS.
Reports trustees and inspectors read
Monthly and term attendance percentages by cohort with clear numerators and denominators.
Separate authorised and unauthorised absence where policy requires.
Historical trends show whether initiatives after last inspection worked.
Start homeroom, add periods later
Launch daily marks when roster is stable. Add period attendance after timetable publish.
Train supply teachers on marking expectations - cover lessons still count.
Review alert rules so families are not spammed for one-off medical appointments.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about school attendance software with Schoolyi - Cloud School Management System (SMS).
Can we mark period attendance as well as daily?+
Yes. Daily homeroom and period-level marks coexist. Secondary schools often add periods once timetable is live.
Do holidays automatically exclude absent marks?+
Working days from the academic calendar define which dates expect marks. Holidays and inset days are excluded from denominators.
Can parents explain absences in the portal?+
Configure parent submission of expected absence reasons. Office staff approve or attach to the register record.
Are attendance summaries on report cards?+
Report card templates can pull term attendance percentages when your school includes them on published reports.
How fast do parent alerts send?+
Alerts trigger after marks save according to rules you set - for example same-day unauthorised absence.
Can we export for government compliance formats?+
Attendance exports use SIS student IDs. Map columns to local authority requirements during implementation.
