How To Dual Register Your Bully?

A. This is another question that keeps cropping up at conferences and other events.

You can simply use dual registration for a child who is officially registered at two schools at the same time (including student referral units), not for any other forms of culling provision. In that example, their school must yet record the student's bodily attendance and absenteeism for every session, wherever they are supposed to be.

To exist classed equally dual registered, they must actually be admitted onto the admission register in both schools, not just attending unofficially as a invitee or on a trial footing, pending a possible future transfer.

When required to attend school A, schoolhouse B puts a 'D' in the register for each applicable session and vice versa. This means that no attendance record is kept at the school where the pupil is not required to nourish on that day – and these sessions are therefore discounted from that school'due south information.

If only six sessions are expected and they nourish all half-dozen, that is 100% attendance for that school. The other four are for the other school to tape. Simply the school where they are expected to be for that session has to record a mark.

If no sessions are currently required, there will exist no marks. This is so that the pupil's personal record, which would have to be combined from both schools, still has only 10 possible sessions per calendar week, non xx. They would, however, be a persistent absentee for the relevant school if they missed more than than 10% of the required attendances in that setting during the whole school year.
