Attendance

You need to collate your attendance data each term, as you'll use it for authorising WGLG FE payments. This is the evidence that lets you decide if the student is in attendance or not.

You should use the processes your Learning Centre already has for collating the attendance data. In case of any unplanned school closures, you must still confirm the attendance of your students.

You must keep all records of your attendance monitoring and payment decisions in a format suitable for auditing. This includes both authorised and unauthorised absences. You must keep these records for 7 years in line with standard audit requirements.

Once you’ve made a decision about a student’s attendance, you must submit it on the Learning Centre Portal.

We cannot release any payments until you’ve confirmed that the student is in attendance in this academic year.

In term 1, you must confirm attendance after the student has been in attendance for 2 weeks. You must also confirm that the student remains enrolled and continues to attend at each term.

The two-week rule applies for term 1 only. There is no specific time frame for the following 2 terms, but we expect you to confirm attendance as soon as possible. This ensures your students receive their funding without a delay.
