- Monthly grid for up to 60 students with roll number and name
- Dates and weekdays fill in from the month you choose; Sundays and days after month end are shaded
- P / A / L drop-down in every cell
- Totals per student and per day, and attendance percentage with a red highlight below 75 percent
How to use it
- Type your school or centre name, class and the first day of the month at the top.
- Type the roll numbers and names of your students.
- Each day, mark P, A or L in that day's column (you can also just type the letter).
- Totals and percentage update as you go.
- At month end, print on A4 landscape or save as PDF. For the next month, save a copy and clear the marks.
Tips
- Copy the student list into the next month's copy so you only type it once a year.
- Change the 75% warning level in the Settings box if your school uses a different rule.
- Leave holidays empty: only marked days count towards the percentage.
Questions and answers
How is the percentage calculated?
Days present divided by days marked (present + absent + leave). Empty days are not counted.
Should leave count as absent?
The template counts leave as not present, which is the usual school practice. If your school counts approved leave as present, mark those days P.
Can I use it for staff attendance?
Yes. Replace roll numbers with employee codes.
