Why Monthly Reports Matter
Running a school on instinct worked when you had 200 students. At 800, you need numbers. Monthly reports take 30 minutes to review and save you from a hundred small problems becoming one large crisis.
1. Fee Collection Summary
Total invoiced vs collected broken down by class. Shows where defaults are clustering.
2. Overdue Invoice List
Names, amounts, and days overdue. If this list grows month over month, your reminder process is broken.
3. Attendance by Class
Average daily attendance percentage per section. Under 85 percent means something is wrong.
4. Staff Attendance Summary
Teacher absenteeism directly impacts learning. Track it monthly.
5. New Admissions vs Withdrawals
Net student count change. If withdrawals are rising, ask why before it becomes visible in revenue.
6. Exam Results by Section
Average marks per subject per section. Spot underperforming teachers before parents do.
7. Homework Submission Rate
Low submission rates signal disengaged students. Useful leading indicator before exams.
8. Transport Utilisation
Empty seats cost money. Full routes that need expansion create safety issues.
9. Expense vs Budget
Actual spend vs planned for the month. Critical for cash flow management.
10. Payroll Summary
Total salary outflow, advances outstanding, and any anomalies.
