Attendance Officer

The successful candidate will lead on improving pupil attendance and punctuality, working closely with students, families, staff and external agencies to remove barriers to learning. They will monitor and analyse attendance data, follow up absences, and implement targeted interventions including meetings, calls and home visits. The Attendance Officer also supports safeguarding, pupil welfare and behaviour, contributing to a positive school environment and high standards, while underpinning teaching and learning by ensuring all pupils are fully engaged in their education. A good standard of computer skills, literacy and the ability to prioritise is essential for this post.

As a vibrant school of just over 1,000 pupils with a thriving academic Sixth Form, Saint Cecilia's is also a caring Christian community, and together with a close-knit team of dedicated teaching and support staff, has achieved excellent academic success. Whilst candidates must be in sympathy with the aims of a Church of England School, a Christian commitment is not essential. As one of the most successful and over-subscribed, non-selective schools in South West London with Music and Mathematics as a specialism, we are a truly inclusive and dynamic place to work.

Located close to Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club, Saint Cecilia's is well connected to central London and the West End, as well as the tranquil Surrey countryside, by exceptional transport links. The school lies within the Inner London Weighting area, which adds a significant increase to salary.

The nearest underground station is Southfields (District line - Zone 3 and less than a five-minute walk), which is only five minutes from Wimbledon station and 16 minutes from Earl's Court. The area is well served by numerous bus connections to Clapham Junction and Richmond.
