Through your work you will be responsible for liaising between home, school and other agencies in order for students to maintain a consistent level of education. You will be responsible for monitoring registers, verifying reasons for absence and identifying cases of non‑attendance that require further investigation.

Working closely with stakeholders you will use your own drive and initiative to help the school to raise achievement by improving attendance and punctuality and to meet our attendance target.
