How It Works
Implementation takes less than a day. After that, Attention First handles everything — no ongoing maintenance required from your team.
We connect to your MIS via its official API using read-only credentials. No data is written back to your MIS. Your IT team approves the connection.
Every night, Attention First pulls the latest data from your MIS across all configured data streams — attendance, behaviour, safeguarding, SEND and assessment.
The platform analyses patterns across all data streams simultaneously, calculates risk scores and surfaces students who need attention — ready for your team each morning.
Risk scores, chronologies and dashboards are updated each morning with the previous day's data. No manual exports, no CSV uploads, no maintenance required.
Data Streams
Attention First pulls data across all major pastoral and academic streams — not just attendance. The more data streams connected, the more accurate the AI risk scoring becomes.
