How to Use This Template

Set Attendance Period (e.g. Autumn Term 2025) and confirm the pupil's Attendance Rate meets your award threshold before printing. Fill Student Name, Year Group and School Name, then add Issue Date.

Sign with Principal Name and present in assembly or form time so the recognition is public. Keep a copy of the criteria with the certificate so awards remain consistent across terms, and track repeat winners — a wall of termly awards is a cheap, visible attendance motivator.

Print on light card rather than standard paper — the certificate is the artefact the pupil keeps. Maintain a running list of winners with period and rate achieved so repeat honours are visible at year-end assemblies, and photograph presentations for the newsletter where you hold image consent for that pupil.

When to Use This Template

First unexplained absence

Send the initial follow-up the day after an absence is recorded, asking for a reason and setting a reply deadline while the details are still fresh.

Patterns of repeated absence

When absences repeat, escalate with the same template: include the attendance percentage against the policy threshold and the support being offered.

Logging calls and meetings

Record every contact attempt — phone calls, letters and meetings — with dates and outcomes so the attendance file shows a complete, dated trail if the case escalates.

Yes. Fill in the template once for each student or class, then download the PDF each time. You can keep the browser tab open and simply change the fields for different recipients.
Is my school data stored on your servers?
Template processing happens entirely in your browser — the filled content is never sent to our servers.

What should the first absence letter say?
State the dates of absence, the school's attendance expectation, and a clear deadline for the family to respond with a reason. Offer a phone call or meeting, keep the tone supportive, and reference the attendance policy so the message matches other school correspondence.
