• By date range including quick selection of term start and end dates using the term range drop down selector.
• By class, grade or the whole school.
• By type of absenteeism i.e. absent, arrived late and/or left early.
• Students who have left the school can be included/excluded.
• Selection of whether to display the detailed list of all selected absentees or just summary statistics
• Figures in the output can be rounded or displayed with decimals.

Once you have chosen the filters that you are interested in you can select the filter button to display both a summary of attendance data by school, class and grade:

If you have selected the “detailed list” option then a detailed list of all of the attendance records included in your selection will also be displayed.  Note that you can export or print the results of your query to excel/PDF for further analysis by using the buttons at the top left of this page:
