Job overview

THE ROLE

Pimlico Academy is one of London’s most improving and innovative schools. It provides an immensely exciting educational environment, and we are looking for people of outstanding imagination, intellect and passion to join us as we aim to develop excellence in our own pupils and forge new directions in education. 

We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Attendance Officer to lead on all aspects of attendance across the school and to contribute to ensuring outstanding attendance.

WHO YOU ARE

To be successful, you will:

  • Demonstrate excellent written and spoken English with excellent communication skills and the ability to build rapport with children, parents and external professionals.
  • Work independently within a statutory framework and a graduated system with a restorative approach.
  • Fulfil Pimlico Academy’s statutory obligations, which set out to protect children's rights to an education. This will involve home visits, parental meetings and supporting the school to raise the participation of children and young people at risk of becoming persistently absent. 
  • Have an unwavering belief in the power of education to change lives, as per our trust’s motto, libertas per cultum (freedom through education). We expect all staff to share in and feel empowered by this concept.

WHO WE ARE

Pimlico Academy is an outstanding state-funded secondary school based in the heart of Westminster and Future Academies’ flagship secondary. 

Future Academies is a Multi-Academy Trust which includes three primary schools and seven secondary schools in and around London and Hertfordshire. We are motivated by a mission of social change and reducing educational inequality. We are unique in our approach to a knowledge-rich curriculum – our school motto is Libertas per cultum (Freedom through education) – and in our strong emphasis on raising young people’s aspirations and outcomes through the teaching of classical and traditional subjects. Our children and young people study a bespoke curriculum developed by researchers at our Curriculum Centre, which places a focus on developing their cultural literacy and their awareness of the forces, words and events that have shaped our society today.

THE BENEFITS

  • Fast career progression. Because knowledge and intelligence, rather than length of service, are lauded and rewarded at Future Academies.
  • The chance to make a difference to children’s and young people’s lives. Pimlico Academy serves children and young people from the most socially deprived communities.
  • Excellent staff team. You will be working with a supportive leadership team, cohesive staff body, and very purposeful environment with excellent resources. Being part of a Trust of schools enables you to share knowledge across a wider range of educational professionals.
  • Excellent CPD. The Trust is knowledge-centric and encourages CPD at all levels with excellent opportunities for swift career progression, within the Academy and Trust. This includes Leadership Development opportunities.

About Pimlico Academy

Pimlico Academy is a mixed ability non-fee paying school for 11-19 year olds. The academy opened in September 2008 and is sponsored by Future Academies. The academy became an all-through school, 3 to 19, from September 2013 when the first Reception class started at our on-site primary school, Pimlico Primary.

The academy has improved rapidly since taking over from the predecessor school and was judged good by Ofsted in December 2021. The percentage of students achieving 5 GCSE 9 -4 grades with Maths and English has improved from 36% to 69%. 90% of students achieved A*-C at A Level in 2016.

The distinguishing factor at Pimlico is our determination to provide pupils with the same standard of education that is on offer at the best independent schools and to ensure all pupils leave the academy as culturally literate young adults. The academy’s sponsor has established The Curriculum Centre to develop and implement a knowledge-based curriculum. We have an excellent Raising Aspirations programme, extensive extra-curricular provision, academic intervention tutors and a wide array of support to enable students to reach their potential.

We employ only very well-qualified staff who are committed to knowledge-rich education and embody a determination to ensure every pupil at Pimlico is hardworking, articulate, literate, ambitious, independent, confident, courteous and compassionate.
