What the school offers its staff
The Ted Wragg Trust is an inclusive and ambitious Trust of schools, strengthening our communities through excellent education. Our mission is to transform lives and strengthen our communities to make the world a better place. With a reputation for highly successful school improvement in very challenging circumstances, we are passionate about inclusive education and raising the aspirations and outcomes of all our students. We are a growing Trust with over 13,000 pupils across 16 schools working across Devon and Plymouth Local Authorities. We recognise that improving school attendance has never been so important as it is now.
The Trust are seeking to appoint two highly skilled and enthusiastic Attendance Engagement Officers (AEO), one in the Devon area and one in Plymouth to join our already established in-house Trust Attendance Engagement Service (AES). Their role is to promote positive attitudes towards regular attendance across our Trust schools. Our team consists of 6 people, 3 working across our Devon schools and 2 in our Plymouth schools, along with a team administrator. The successful candidate will work in partnership with our schools, families and the LA to improve the attendance levels of our pupils, engage with families to remove barriers and to support our schools to fulfil their legal obligations in this regard.
The successful candidate will monitor the attendance of children and provide intervention, support and signposting to families where attendance falls below 92%. The Attendance Engagement Officer will also support families in a wide variety of other ways, including supporting parents and their children to achieve a positive relationship with the school, involving parents in the life of the school and supporting families by working with different agencies through the Early Help process. This is a unique opportunity, for you to develop your skills and experience in order to positively enhance the life chances of pupils, by supporting them to remove barriers to achieving consistently good school attendance.
