Are you ready to be a champion for student success? Join us as a Learning Manager, where you will play a critical role in nurturing student potential by focusing on welfare, strategic intervention, and data-driven monitoring. This position is perfect for someone passionate about removing academic and behavioral barriers to learning, ensuring all students thrive in a supportive educational setting, and effectively managing complex student cases in collaboration with external agencies.
As a Learning Manager you will be required to support your designated year group and their learning through the use of data, strategic intervention and monitoring in order to maximise student attainment.
You will monitor all students in the year group, both academically and with behavioural issues. You will work closely with the Inclusion Team and the Vice Principal for Deep Support on improving student behaviour, attendance and outcomes. Day to day you will be working with students to help them to be the best they can be.
You will utilise the Academy’s systems in order to track and intervene with serial internal truants or students who are consistently late for lessons. Your role will have emphasis on intervention and student tracking throughout the day using the Academy’s “Praising Stars” system.
You will attend case conferences and other meetings regarding students in your year alongside preparing referrals and reports for those students identified as needing intervention.
The successful candidate must be extremely well organised, have the ability to prioritise work and ensure that strict deadlines are met. The ability to work on your own initiative and be able to lead by example are essential. You will be required to deal with students, parents and outside agencies in a professional, prompt and confidential manner.
Welcome from the Principal:
I am very excited to introduce you to Outwood Academy Freeston, where you will receive a family-centered, warm, and positive welcome. Our academy is located conveniently in the heart of Normanton, one of the five towns of Wakefield.
As a family, we support and challenge ourselves to be the very best for every young person in our care, preparing them to be excellent citizens with the options to pursue any future they choose.
Our roots are important: we are privileged to be supported by The Normanton Freeston Foundation, which provides financial support to help our academy and students thrive—a legacy dating back to 1594.

We look forward to meeting you and sharing our passionate vision. If you share this commitment, please get in touch.
