Adsum, the attendance spreadsheet that starts with Fridays

Field notes

Adsum is built around attendance exports from a school’s existing management information system, then organizes them into pupil watch lists, weekday and session-pattern views, benchmark comparisons, and audience-specific reports. Its stated rules include session-weighted figures, persistent absence at or below 90%, severe absence at or below 50%, and a ten-unauthorised-session window for penalty-notice tracking. The sample chart for Wheal Basset Primary is explicitly illustrative, with invented figures.
