The Department for Education
Real-time data is the frontline of pupil safeguarding. As the Department for Education’s (DfE) primary data integration partner, Wonde supported them as they transitioned a critical attendance trial into a national standard, closing the gap between school registers and actionable policy.
What began as a strategic pilot to automate daily data collection has evolved into a nationwide success story. By proving that high-frequency data could be captured securely and without administrative burden, Wonde’s technology paved the way for the DfE mandation.
Near-universal coverage
99.9% of English schools now share daily attendance data via Wonde.
Automation at scale
We provide a secure, automated bridge between individual school MIS and the DfE, removing manual reporting entirely.
Total control
Schools manage participation through a dedicated Wonde School Portal, ensuring transparency and data integrity at every step.
The move from “static” data to real-time insights has transformed how the education sector operates. Schools now work with week-on-week comparison tools, allowing for immediate intervention and a proactive approach to student welfare.
Together, the DfE and Wonde are ensuring that data doesn’t just record the past – it helps protect the future of every pupil.
