>Regular attendance and participation in schooling is an important factor in educational success. Students who are regular non-attenders are at risk of alienation from education that can lead to decreased options for future learning.
With the statutory requirement to report attendance figures comes the additional need to look at why pupils aren’t attending. It’s important to get to the centre of why a child refuses to attend, and to put support in place through educational strategies.
EDLounge is an innovative online learning resource that can help your academy achieve its target attendance.
Our system is designed to motivate students who are persistently absent, off-site and in alternative provision, allowing these pupils to raise their A-C attainment and gain vital qualifications.
We currently work in partnership with academies all across the UK, helping them to:
- Reduce exclusions and persistent absences
- Use EDVirtual’s mentor support system engage school phobic students to work from home
- Track and monitor pupils’ attendance and progress to produce printable reports – perfect for Ofsted inspections!
- Motivate disengaged pupils by promoting learning
‘The implementation of EDLounge to support students who are excluded from school has had a significant impact on an identified cohort of students. It provides them with a programme of study and behaviour repair work that is monitored daily by school staff and parents, ensuring that students are engaged in meaningful work throughout their exclusion.
This has meant that exclusions have become more of a deterrent and are now seen as more meaningful and robust by parents/carers. This has meant a reduction in the number of repeat exclusions which is, in turn, seeing a marked improvement in attendance…’

EDLounge and EDClass become your alternative provision, allowing your pupils to learn, progress and attain in an environment that is suited to their specific needs.
We work in partnership with academies to ensure comprehensive levels of safeguarding, well-being, supervision for your pupils on or off-site.
Our unique approach makes EDLounge the perfect resource for students who are in inclusion or exclusion, alongside vocational and foundation learners, target groups, and students who are vulnerable, at risk, not attending classes, persistently absent, not doing homework, disengaged or demotivated.
