We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our school office team, working in the role of Attendance and Admissions Officer. The ideal candidate will have experience in a similar role or working in a school office. 

Beyond functioning as a core member of our busy school office, the primary responsibility of the role is to ensure that school attendance is accounted for, accurately and in a timely manner. The candidate will involve close liaison with the Leadership team and our Pastoral/Safeguarding Lead to account for attendance and to work alongside them to prepare for parent meetings with the Educational Welfare Officer in relation to low attendance.
