Access your school attendance data
Guidance on how to access your school attendance data through the Monitor your school attendance tool.
Applies to England
Monitor your school attendance
Schools, their trust and local authority can access the Monitor your school attendance tool. This is available on the View your education data (VYED) service.
How to get access
To access your school attendance data:
- Log in to DfE Sign-in.
- Go to ‘services’ and ‘add services to my account’.
- Select your organisation.
- Request access to ‘VYED’ then the sub-service ‘Monitor your school attendance.
This sends an email request to your school’s approver. You should receive an email within 5 days from dfe.signin@education.gov.uk confirming approval.
If there are no approvers for your organisation, your request will be sent to the DfE Sign-in team to be approved.
Problems getting access
To resolve problems getting access in your DfE sign-in account, you can:
- check the status of a request
- find your organisation’s approver
If you are an approver
To access the tool for yourself, log in to DfE Sign-in and add the service ‘view your education data’ and ‘Monitor your school attendance’.
To give someone else access, select the approve button in the email request from dfe.signin@education.gov.uk and follow the steps.
