Streatham & Clapham High School (SCHS) is seeking an experienced Data Manager to join our administrative team on a maternity cover basis from February 2026 and play a pivotal role at the heart of school operations.
The Role
In this key position, you will oversee the effective use of our MIS (SIMS) and related data systems across both the Prep and Senior Schools, ensuring that all data is accurate, accessible, and used to inform teaching, learning and pastoral care.
Working closely with the Deputy Head Academic, senior leaders and colleagues across all departments, you will provide high-quality analysis, maintain essential data processes, and play an important role in the smooth running of the school timetable and curriculum planning cycle.
This is a varied and rewarding role. One day you might be analysing assessment data to identify students who need support or enrichment; the next, you could be preparing key reports for senior staff, supporting colleagues with ClassCharts or SharePoint, or maintaining accurate student and staff records. Your work will directly support teachers, pastoral teams and senior leaders, helping to shape the academic and pastoral experience of pupils across the school.
About You
We are seeking a candidate with strong technical capability and proven experience in data management. You will have excellent ICT skills, including confident use of SIMS, Nova-T, Excel and cloud-based platforms such as Office 365 and SharePoint.
A background in managing databases, producing data analysis and working with reporting tools is essential, and experience within a school setting or with timetable administration would be a distinct advantage. Accuracy, reliability and a meticulous approach to data handling are vital, as is the ability to understand how data supports teaching, learning and operational decision-making.
