5. Where to find it all? Both the Year 6 absence data and the Similar Schools report are available via the DfE’s Monitor Your School Attendance tool. Early insight = better support = improved attendance @VickyBeer1

4. Even better: All mainstream schools now have access to an AI-powered Similar Schools report. It compares your school’s attendance with 20 statistically similar schools. @VickyBeer1

3. This means: Schools can now identify pupils who may need extra support before they arrive in September—and plan for those who may need ongoing help. @VickyBeer1

2. Why does this matter? New @educationgovuk research shows that as absence increases, the chance of returning to good attendance (0–10% absence) the next year drops—especially during the Year 6 to Year 7 transition. (could link: https://t.co/QCmVG5utj8) @VickyBeer1

1. Supporting transition to secondary school just got a boost. Secondary school leaders can now download absence data for Year 6 pupils offered a Year 7 place in their school this September. A game-changer for supporting attendance early. @VickyBeer1
