Case Study: Astrea Academy Trust improves student attendance with Bromcom

Astrea Academy Trust boosts attendance insights with Bromcom's live 30-minute dashboards

Astrea Academy Trust, a multi-academy trust with schools in South Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire, faced significant challenges in managing student attendance. Issues included a post-Covid shift in parental attitudes, increased minor illness absences, and a trend of high absenteeism on Fridays. To address this, the trust partnered with Bromcom and utilized its Management Information System (MIS) for data analysis and reporting.

Bromcom's solution provided automated scheduled reporting and live Power BI dashboards, giving staff immediate access to attendance data for targeted interventions. This saved time for attendance teams and supported a whole-school approach to improving routines. As a result, Bromcom's tools helped embed positive new behaviors, with Year 7 becoming the trust's strongest attendance cohort, and plans are underway to roll out the dashboards to more schools.
