This article explains how to view this week's attendance headlines for the whole school using the Attendance Dashboard. The dashboard shows a week-on-week comparison for each headline figure.
Instructions
From within Juniper MIS:
- Select Reports.
- Select Attendance.
Select Dashboard and locate the Attendance Headlines widget:
Outcome
In the Attendance Dashboard, you can view this week's Attendance Headlines (as percentages) and compare them with those of the previous week:
The Attendance Headlines show:
- Attended - Percentage of pupils recorded as attending school (those pupils marked present).
- Authorised - Percentage of authorised absences (those absences that have been approved by the school).
- Unauthorised - Percentage of unauthorised absences (those absences that are unapproved).
- Total Absence - Percentage of all absences (authorised and unauthorised combined)
Additionally, you are presented a comparison of each headline figure from the last 7 days against the previous 7 days. Using this data, you can track trends more responsively. These are displayed under the main headline percentages with either a red or green call out and an up or down arrow:
- Red backgrounds indicate decrease in performance week-on-week, for example, when attendance drops, or absence increases.
- Green backgrounds indicate an improvement in performance week-on-week, for example, where attendance increases, or absence decreases.
- Up arrows indicate an increase in percentage week-on-week, for example, where the first week is 90% and second week is 100%.
- Down arrows indicate a decrease in percentage week-on-week, for example, where the first week is 100% and second week is 90%.
All percentages presented are calculated based on total sessions to date, for the school year. Each school day has two sessions per pupil; thus, a school with 200 pupils has 400 sessions daily, 2,000 each week, and, for example, at the end of week five, a total of 10,000 sessions. As updates are made to the data twice a day, the comparison period also moves forward twice a day, to give a rolling week-on-week view.
