measures to support children and families. The Attendance Officer will also provide data analysis
to the Assistant Headteacher in charge of attendance.

Our ideal candidate will:

• have the ability to build effective relationships with children and families
• be able to develop and implement strategies to remove barriers to learning
• be passionate about raising aspirations and helping children reach their full potential

We can offer you:
