Job overview

The Attendance Officer will work alongside key school staff in school to promote excellent attendance, reduce levels of absence and work with children and families to promote high levels of attendance.

We are looking for the right person to join our team:  we believe that our most important purpose is to teach young people things they would not learn outside school which empower them.  We believe that ‘Knowledge Is Power’. We believe in teaching through explicit/direct instruction (Rosenshine and Engelmann) and utilising TLAC 3.0 and Walkthru techniques.  We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. Our mission, therefore, is to bring out ‘the best in everyone’.  We also believe in ‘Education with Character’ – we want young people to look back on a schooling that has inspired and challenged them, given them wide opportunity and prepared them for the ups and downs of life. 

We will offer you: 

  • Community spirit in each of our inclusive and welcoming schools 
  • Excellent facilities and resources 
  • Talented, supportive and professional colleagues 
  • Excellent training and development opportunities 
  • Opportunities to collaborate with colleagues in our cluster of schools and Central Office 
  • Access to the enhanced Local Government Pension Scheme 
  • 25 days annual leave in addition to bank holidays 
  • Enhanced parental leave options 
  • Access to over 250 employee benefits through Perkbox 
  • Free and Confidential Counselling and Support through an award-winning EAP and access to a free Wellness Hub 
  • Healthcare Cashplan via Westfield Healthcare

About Trumpington Community College

“Trumpington Community College was built in 2015 on the south side of Cambridge, and the new school building provides a great environment for both working and learning. The school is growing and admitted 150 new pupils in Year 7 for the first time in September 2023. This growth will provide excellent future career progression opportunities.

Following the Ofsted inspection in November 2023, Trumpington Community College is now a ‘Good’ school. Excitingly, two areas of the school were judged to be ‘Outstanding’ – Quality of Education, and Leadership and Management.

“Pupils know that staff at the school have unashamedly high ambition for them. They appreciate the hard work teachers put into designing engaging and challenging lessons. Pupils respond by working hard.” “High-quality training supports teachers to deliver the curriculum’s aspirational aims.” “Staff are hugely proud to work in the school. They feel cared for, engaged with and valued.”

One parent comment, reflective of many, was: “The statistics show the school is clearly achieving exceptional academic things with all its students. But it is that it manages this in a joyful, safe and loving way that I find so deeply impressive. I love going there and so do my children.”

We are unashamedly ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We believe that ‘Knowledge Is Power’ – our most important purpose is to teach young people things they would not learn outside school which empower them. We also believe in ‘Education with Character’ – we want young people to look back on a schooling that has inspired and challenged them, given them wide opportunities and prepared them for the ups and downs of life.

We have high expectations and standards, and we teach through explicit/direct instruction (using the Rosenshine Principles) and utilising TLAC 3.0 techniques. In this way, we achieve strong GCSE outcomes, excellent student conduct and a feeling of community throughout the College.”
