We are looking to appoint an Attendance Team Administrator to help improve the school attendance.
School attendance is crucial for a child’s academic success, social-emotional development, and overall well-being. Being around teachers and friends in a school is the best way for pupils to learn and reach their potential.

* Adding late pupils to the school detentions systems
* Tracking late pupils and issuing letters accordingly
* Calling and reminding parents/carers of Attendance Support Meetings
* Disseminating attendance information in a timely manner to Heads of Year and Pastoral Support Teams.
We are keen to hear from someone who has excellent administrative skills, good numeracy and literacy skills and very good ICT skills.
In return for your commitment, we will offer:
* A friendly, supportive and dynamic workplace.
* A professionally stimulating and collaborative working environment.
* A commitment to professional development.
Working Hours:
* 8am to 4.30pm with a 20-minute paid break less 30 minutes’ lunch break (8 hours) Mondays
