Live Register - Attendance

Live Register� is a revolutionary new approach to recording student attendance, replacing old school registers with a system that enables students to register for themselves.

Using the latest in biometric fingerprint recognition technology, Live Register� eradicates wasted registration time and gives more time for teaching or for form tutors to deal with students' concerns.

Efficient and secure, Live Register� provides added flexibility as well as improved information for staff, helping them to deal more effectively with any attendance issues.

Simple to use

With Live Register� terminals placed strategically around the school, students simply key in their year number and place their thumb on the scanner to register. Attendance reports can be viewed by staff from any networked computer with secure access to the system.

"It's modern and fun and both teachers and students find it quick and easy to use." - Paul Fisher, Headteacher of Loughborough Grammar School.

...and not just for school registration
