Attend communication is designed to encourage good attendance and improvement.
Parents and carers play a pivotal role in fostering good attendance. However, research reveals that many of them don't fully understand the broader consequences of absenteeism. They may be unaware of how even occasional absences can accumulate over an academic year, impacting not just their child's learning but also the progress of their peers and the workload of their teachers.
School-wide messages about attendance often fail to resonate, as families may dismiss them as irrelevant. They might think, "We've only missed a few days," without realising how quickly these absences add up and influence overall academic outcomes. Addressing these misconceptions requires clear, consistent, and accessible communication that overcomes linguistic and cultural barriers.
How Attend Makes a Difference
Attend bridges this gap by sending personalised emails and texts that are automatically generated based on live attendance data. These messages provide timely and contextual information about a child's attendance, helping parents stay informed and engaged. This personalised approach has a measurable impact on reducing absenteeism.
Attend is designed to inform, educate, and empower parents, ensuring they have the knowledge and tools to minimise absences and support their child's success.
Built-in Machine Translation
Our powerful communication suite includes integrated machine translation, enabling messages to be delivered in over 100 languages. This ensures that parents and carers can read and understand updates in their chosen language, removing a significant barrier to effective communication.
Research-backed Approach
Attend is grounded in sound academic research. Every new school receives our concise guide, "Readability and Behavioural Science in Communication", which serves as a practical checklist to adopt Attend's evidence-based approach and enhance the effectiveness of their communications.
