Exams & Data Manager

About the role

We are seeking a highly organised, analytical and detail-focused Exams and Data Manager to play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth, compliant delivery of all KS4 external examinations and the effective use of student data across the school. This is a key position combining responsibility for exams administration, data analysis and statutory returns, and oversight of data protection processes.

You will lead the organisation and administration of external examinations in line with JCQ and awarding body requirements, working closely with staff across centres to coordinate logistics, access arrangements and invigilation. Alongside this, you will produce timely and accurate data reports to support senior leaders, act as systems manager for SIMS, and manage student censuses and statutory submissions. You will also serve as the school’s Data Protection Officer, handling Freedom of Information and Subject Access Requests with professionalism and confidentiality.

If you have strong experience of exams processes, enjoy working with data, and can balance accuracy with flexibility in a busy school environment, this role offers an excellent opportunity to make a significant impact across the Altus School.

The Altus School is a local authority maintained alternative provision school, working with students from Year 1 through to Y11 who predominantly join us after a permanent exclusion from a mainstream setting. We are a supportive and nurturing school and place relationships at heart of all that we do to help our students flourish both in school and in the wider community.

You can hear directly from our staff about what it is like to work at the school by looking at our website. You will be joining a challenging but ultimately hugely rewarding environment. Every day is different, you will develop strong working relationships both with students and your colleagues. Together, we make a real difference for our young people and families.

We are a growing school with 7 centres, plus our new primary satellite classroom in a mainstream school, across Gloucestershire. There are a wide range of opportunities to work collaboratively with colleagues across the school to plan and share best practice. In addition, you will benefit from a generous employee assistance scheme which includes health care, online sports and fitness and wellbeing support.
