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.

To access your school attendance data:

1. Log in to DfE Sign-in.
2. Go to services and add services to my account.

This sends an email request to your schools approver. You should receive an email within 5 days from dfe.signin@education.gov.uk confirming approval.
