This week marks the release of a new Attendance Tracker report for schools in England – the termly 360 report.
It has a number of features to help you explore patterns in termly attendance at whole school, year group, and pupil group level, and see how these compare with national patterns.
You can also track the attendance of specific cohorts of pupils, for example, comparing the attendance of your Year 6 pupils in Autumn 2023 with the attendance of those same pupils in Autumn 2022, when they were in Year 5.
This is the feature we’re going to explore in this post, by looking at how attendance varies nationally at the transition points between different year groups.
