Woodcote High School has long been a top choice for parents in the Coulsdon & Purley area of South London. Located in a pleasant suburban setting on the borders of Surrey, Sutton and Croydon, the school has a rural feel.
Judged “good” by Ofsted in 2015 in all areas. Inspectors praised our students as “attentive, hardworking and practically always keen to learn. They get down to work fast and keep going diligently”. We are recognised by the DfE as providing outstanding value for money.
We are seeking to appoint a confident and proactive individual to join the school’s pastoral team as Attendance and Welfare Officer. As well as administering the school’s registration procedures, the job will involve working directly with students and parents where attendance has been, or is becoming, an issue. The ability to interact, empathise and persuade are key skills. Hence, experience of working in a busy school environment would also be an advantage.
If you have the energy, ambition and a passion for working directly with young people, many of whom are experiencing home issues and barriers to their learning, then we would like to hear from you.
Visits are welcomed and encouraged so please telephone the school if you would like to arrange an informal visit before you apply. Applications are welcome from all applicants who feel that they can make a significant contribution to the lives of young people.

About Woodcote High School
Since opening in 1957, Woodcote High School has constantly evolved and grown, whilst remaining at the forefront of educational developments in the area.
Exam results have for many years exceeded national and local averages, delivering a positive Progress 8 score. Other landmark achievements over recent years include significant building projects, the opening of a Sixth Form at the School, the opening of an international standard athletics facility (Track Coulsdon, in conjunction with South London Harriers and other funding partners) and the establishment of the Enhanced Learning Provisionfor mobility impaired students.
Woodcote is a busy community, with lots to offer our students. We encourage students to develop enquiring minds that in turn increases their enthusiasm for enrichment both in and out of the classroom. Those interested in music and performance deliver great seasonal productions, and benefit from a wide range of individual music tuition. Our world-class Track Coulsdon is at the heart of our great sport and PE facilities, and we have a full range of extra-curricular sport.
In the Sixth Form, in addition to the whole school enrichment programme, students have the opportunity to stand for student leadership positions, take part in charity events and lead assemblies for raising awareness on subjects they are passionate about. We also run a series of events where guest speakers are invited into school to speak to the student body.
