The real thing

This is what your senior team sees

One page for each year group, each half-term. These are real screens from the demo, with made-up figures for an example school.

The Pupil Outlook leadership page for an example Year 8: a headline saying outcomes slip from 53 to 49 if nothing changes and rise to 61 with the recommended option; three figures (outlook score 61, attendance 89.8%, reading age 3 months behind) each with a bar comparing now, no change and with the plan; and three things to know this half-term.
  1. 1

    Where the year group is heading

    One sentence on what happens if nothing changes, and what the recommended option could do. Each figure shows now, no change and with the plan on one bar.

  2. 2

    Three things to know

    What is changing, what you could do, and what to decide. Each one leads with a number and says how sure it is.

  3. 3

    Every figure is labelled

    Your data, published research or a model estimate, so your team knows how much weight to give each one.

What one point of attendance means for your year group

Percentages are hard to picture in a meeting. Pupil Outlook turns them into days and pupils. Try it here: nothing you type leaves this page.

23 daysmissed by an average pupil over a school year at this rate
1.9 daysgained per pupil for each percentage point of attendance
342pupil-days a year gained across the year group for each point
13.3 daysmore per pupil to reach 95%, the Welsh Government's good attendance level

Simple arithmetic on a 190-day school year (380 sessions). It is not a forecast.

How it fits your year

A half-term with Pupil Outlook

Built around the meeting you already have. Each step below is the real screen.

  1. The half-term figures form: boxes for attendance, persistent absence, reading and behaviour for the whole year group and groups such as eFSM pupils.
    Step 1 · after each half-term

    Put the figures in

    Your data lead types them into one form, or uploads a report with names removed. Only group totals are kept.

  2. What the recommended option could mean: 180 pupils, 5.3 extra days in school per pupil a year with a range bar, the reading age gap narrowing 10 months, and 608 staff hours a year.
    Step 2 · same day

    Read one page

    See what the recommended option could mean in days in school, pupils reached and staff hours, with ranges that widen when the evidence is weaker.

  3. Three decision cards: which option to follow, which priorities come first, and whether the current plan is working, each marked not yet decided.
    Step 3 · SLT meeting

    Decide and record it

    Three decisions, each with its evidence. Record what you agreed, who agreed it and when to review it.

  4. Put the plan in your calendar: choose your term dates and SLT meeting day, then download dated steps for Outlook, Google Calendar or Apple Calendar.
    Step 4 · after the meeting

    Put the plan in your calendar

    The plan becomes dated steps: prepare, start, weekly checks, figures in and the next review, on your own term dates.

  5. Whole school view: Year 7 to Year 11 side by side, with Year 10 flagged as needing attention most because its attendance is lowest and falling.
    Step 5 · next half-term

    See whether it worked

    New figures show whether the plan is on track, and which year group needs attention most across the school.
