Overview

This article explains how to access the Office Register, which will enable you to view and edit all pupil attendance data held for pupils within your school from a central location.

Use this view to:

1. Chase up and record the reasons for pupil absences on an adhoc basis.
2. Record known future absences for one or more pupils over an extended period.
3. Manage Attendance Patterns. These automatically fill specific sessions with attendance codes for one or more pupils to record regular known absences ahead of time, for example, when pupils are Dual Registered.
