Exam attendance and marks

The principle: attendance and mark recorded together

For a candidate enrolled in a session, attendance and the mark are recorded in a single step, by the school admin, head teacher or teacher. There is no separate step for entering the mark, and no draft mark distinct from the final one: the mark you save is the mark shown.

Attendance statuses

Each candidate has one of the following statuses:

Status	Meaning
Registered	No attendance recorded yet.
Present	The candidate sat the exam.
Absent	The candidate did not show up.
Absent (justified)	Absence reported with a justification.

The mark

The mark is a free decimal number: the application does not impose a marking scale (no fixed /20 or other scale) and does not apply validation that locks the mark after entry. A free-text notes field lets you add a comment per candidate.

Where to view attendance and marks

On the session detail record (menu Exams → select the session), the Enrolled candidates section lists, for each pupil: attendance, mark and notes. The Invigilators section separately lists the staff assigned to the session.

Publishing and closing a session

A session follows the progression Draft → Published → In progress → Closed. There is no head teacher validation step before publication, no PDF, CSV or Excel export, and no e-mail notification sent to pupils or parents when the session is published or closed.

The exams module does not include pass-rate or mark-distribution statistics.
