Attendance Register

A tidy printable attendance register for any class or group

The attendance register is a single-page printable grid built for teachers, tutors, club leaders and anyone who needs to record who turned up. Student names run down the left-hand column, numbered day columns run across the top, and a totals column on the right gives you space to tally each student's attendance at the end of the period.

Print one at the start of the month, clip it to a register board, and mark each day with a simple letter as the session begins.

Choose between 10 and 30 student rows and 10 to 31 day columns, and print in A4 or US Letter.

Why use a printable attendance register?

A paper register is fast, reliable and works when the network does not. Use it for:

• recording daily presence in a classroom or form group
• tracking turnout at after-school clubs and sports teams
• keeping a register for tutoring sessions and workshops
• logging attendance at community groups, choirs and scout troops
• a backup record alongside any digital system
• spotting patterns of absence at a glance

Marking each day by hand keeps the register quick to complete and gives you a physical record to file at the end of the term.

What you can customise

• Page title: default "Attendance Register" or rename for a specific class
• Class name: printed in the top-right header strip
• Student rows: 10 to 30 — one row per learner
• Day columns: 10 to 31 numbered columns across the top
• Teacher & month line: optional labelled lines under the heading
• Paper size: A4 or US Letter PDF

How the grid works

Student name rows

Write one student per row down the left-hand column. Order them alphabetically so the register matches your class list.

Numbered day columns

Each column is a day — number them to match the days you meet, whether that is consecutive dates or session numbers.

Totals column

At the end of the period, count the present marks for each student and write the figure in the totals column on the right.

The key

Use the printed key — P present, A absent, L late, E authorised — or adapt it to your school's own marking codes.
