Different Class – Attendance Software

Different Class is the name of the Attendance Portal used at Learning Academies.

You can log on at https://apweb.dcpro.co.uk/

You will only see the students allocated to you. As you scroll down their Different Class Page for each of your students you will see their register (along with the relevant codes to mark attendance). Student attendance must be marked in the first 5 minutes of the sessions and changed as required as the session progresses (e.g. if the student doesn’t arrive they would be marked N after the first 5 minutes, this would then change to L if they subsquently arrive.

When a student is absent and you begin working your way through the absence protocol (see Absence Policy) please add a ‘comment’ to outline all actions taken.

You will also see their timetable – which is viewable on a weekly, monthly, termly or annual basis.

As you scroll further down you will see CONTACT details for this student. If the student learns in the community or online please ensure you have the contact details of at least one (ideally two) parents/guardians. If only one has been provided, please ask for a second one when you meet the parents/carers. You will also see the contact details of the attendance lead – in the event of absence.

A little further down you will see the GENERAL DOCUMENTS (such as our policies and procedures) and the PLACEMENT specific documents. It is very important to have read these. The placement specific documents contain your students REFERRAL FORM, any EHCPs etc and the RISK ASSESSMENTS for your student.

Risk Assessments are ‘live documents’ that you can add to at any time. Each student has a STUDENT risk assessment and a VENUE risk assessment. Please add to these as you gather information.
