Data Manager

Heathcote School is an 11 – 18 School that has a new Headteacher and a new vision. The school is on a rapid journey of improvement.

The School Improvement Plan (2017 – 2020) focuses on four key areas:

· Building at all levels an ambitious culture of high challenge and low threat enabling Heathcote to be the school of choice for staff and parents.

· Ensuring the best possible learning and leadership of learning, across the school.

· Ensuring safety is at the heart of everything we do and standards of behaviour and attendance are exemplary within the school and community.

· Giving all pupils equal opportunities to make maximum progress. 

We are looking for a Data Manager to have strategic responsibility and leadership for the planning and development of the School’s data systems for the Headteacher, Senior Leadership Team and all other staff. They will provide the school with an expert data analysis function including contextual and value-added statistical studies in support of school self-evaluation. 

The successful candidate will be responsible for the collection, organisation, input, analysis, presentation and distribution of data relating to student attainment and progress using the School’s ICT based management information systems. 

A high level of ICT literacy including an advanced level of proficiency in MS Excel is essential. Knowledge of school IT systems and experience of data analysis in a school setting would be advantageous.  

The school puts well-being and development at the heart of its work and we have very talented staff who are encouraged to grow, develop and work collaboratively, within school and with local schools, and to be the best they can be. We are working to ensure school improvement in a high challenge, low threat way and enable robust systems and structures to ensure consistency in all areas, encouraging the growth and development of all. The school has excellent resources and a stunning site close to the forest.
