What skills and experience we're looking for
Madeley School has an excellent reputation locally and is oversubscribed year on year. The school currently has record breaking Progress 8 and Attainment results and our OFSTED report in December 2019 praised pupils’ exceptional attitudes to learning in a school where they achieve strong outcomes.
A rare opportunity has arisen for a suitable candidate with excellent administrative and communication skills to join our friendly support staff team here at Madeley School. This role is of great importance to our work as an academy - the successful candidate will be expected to analyse and identify student absences and take appropriate action to support students back into the academy. As well as providing welfare support and maintaining accurate records of student absence and supporting initiatives designed to promote good attendance, the successful candidate will be responsible for co-ordinating support for persistently absent students, working closely with key members of the Pastoral Team, the Education Welfare Officer, subject teachers and parents/carers, as well as the students themselves. Experience of IT packages such as A Star Attendance and Arbor would be favourable but not essential as training will be given.
As the role involves working with some of the school’s most vulnerable students and their parents/carers, the post holder must have a calm manner, which can be authoritative and/or supportive and empathetic, as required. Discretion and maintaining strict confidentiality are essential attributes, as are following strict safeguarding procedures and possessing excellent written and verbal communication skills.

In our secondary schools, we pride ourselves on our innovative approach to curriculum design, to ensure all our schools have breadth and ambition for all pupils, regardless of their starting points and barriers. Standard curriculum models don’t always engage all pupils, so we constantly seek to innovate and provide better opportunities to develop both knowledge and skills for life. We want our pupils to believe their curriculum is bold, exciting, purposeful, and ultimately leads to something meaningful for them. Some examples of our innovation include moving towards an extended school day, to provide a world class enrichment programme and more opportunities for essential skills like reading and cultural capital. We are also introducing a vocational and technical pathways, which run through the normal school curriculum but attract support from leading employers and universities to develops work-readiness in our pupils, so that they can progress onto T Levels and apprenticeships.
