At Tute Education, we recognise that navigating attendance codes is complex. We also recognise the critical role schools play in monitoring student attendance and engagement in online learning. Following the latest Department for Education (DfE) attendance guidance (August ’24), students attending online sessions cannot be recorded as physically present. This does not impact the suitability or use of our provision but highlights the need for schools to implement effective tracking and reporting measures. 

Tute’s secure Learning Portal ensures that schools and referring services have access to attendance data, enabling them to download verifiable records for compliance and safeguarding purposes. If a student does not log in to a session, automated notifications allow schools to take timely interventions to support student participation. 

Supporting schools with attendance compliance and student engagement 

To remain compliant with attendance regulations, schools should maintain accurate records and adopt in-house methods for tracking and reporting student attendance. Tute Education supports this process by: 

• Providing detailed attendance reports for school records and audits. 

• Enabling progress and engagement monitoring. 

• Sending automated alerts when a student does not attend a session. 

• Reporting on student’s engagement during lessons  

• Evaluating each student’s progress to ensure they are meeting their learning goals. 

• Assisting schools in implementing structured review processes to assess attendance, engagement, progress, and the ongoing suitability of online provision.
