What's on it

One page, ready to fill in.

  • A 31-day tracker
  • A “Month” line at the top, so it works for any month and year

Who it's for

Teachers keeping a backup register, after-school club leaders, sports coaches, Sunday school teachers, scout and youth group leaders, yoga and fitness instructors, and volunteer coordinators. It also works for tracking your own attendance at classes, therapy sessions or a gym programme, if you want to see how consistent you've really been.

How to use it

Getting the most from a attendance sheet.

  1. Use a simple code

    A tick or P for present, A for absent, L for late, E for excused. Write the key in the top margin so anyone covering for you can use it.

  2. Cross out weekends and holidays

    At the start of the month, cross out days the class doesn't meet. Empty boxes then always mean something.

  3. Keep names in the same order as your gradebook

    Matching the order makes it quick to move between attendance and grades, and easy to spot a student who's missing a lot.

  4. Total at the end of the month

    Add a quick total for each student in the margin. Patterns in absence are often the first sign that someone needs support.

  5. Use it for clubs and volunteers

    Coaches, youth leaders and volunteer coordinators use the same page. Write dates above the columns if you only meet weekly.
