Attendance Manager

Outwood Academy Adwick is an 11-18 academy based just north of the large, friendly, South Yorkshire town of Doncaster. 

We have been a member of the Outwood Family since 2009, and in our 2023 Ofsted inspection the academy was graded Good in all categories. The inspection noted ‘the school has a supportive and caring culture. Staff build arm and friendly relationships with pupils. Pupils achieve their full potential. Staff are proud to work at the school’.

We offer a holistic education that makes learning stimulating, engaging and enjoyable for every student.

The inspectors were equally complimentary about our sixth form provision, with a wide range of courses on offer; including A Levels, vocational qualifications and T-levels.

We have also won numerous awards as a school and we have been accredited with the prestigious IQM Award, in addition to being an IQM Centre of Excellence for 3 years, which highlights that inclusion at all levels is of paramount importance to us. We are also proud to have been awarded Silver Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.

We work hard to ensure we reduce workload on staff, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of students first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice.

All academies within the Outwood Family have gained the IQM Inclusive Schools Award with 18 having Centre of Excellence status and one holding Flagship status.

If you share our vision, join our family.

As part of Outwood Grange Academies Trust, we benefit from the support and experience of our Family of Schools as well as being able to provide our staff with exceptional professional development through the Outwood Institute of Education.

The successful candidate will lead a very busy team providing support to students, families and Academy staff to improve attendance and meet the needs of their students. The ideal candidate will support children whose education is at risk and help families to improve their children’s access to learning and enable all children and young people to maximise their educational opportunities, especially those vulnerable groups that may need additional support.  

Candidates should have excellent communication skills, be organised, energetic and able to remain calm in a busy environment. Strong IT skills specifically in Microsoft Office and Google are essential. The successful candidate will be a strong leader with a proactive approach to work. Owing to the nature of the role, an ability to relate to the Academy’s students is crucial. Home visits will be required as part of this role so a UK driving licence and a car will be essential.

This is a fantastic opportunity for highly motivated and driven individuals; you must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students.
