Attendance Officer job summary

Are you someone looking for a varied role that brings a new challenge every day?

Do you want to be part of a team where you will help make a lasting impact on our students?

Ernulf Academy is an 11-16 comprehensive academy which is really on the move. Based in St.Neots in Cambridgeshire, Ernulf Academy has an increasing roll with over 700 students. As a truly comprehensive and inclusive academy, the school is proud of its place within the local community. This is reflected in our approach to all areas of our work. From supporting students preparing for Oxbridge through to working with the most vulnerable Ernulf Academy embraces everyone.

The role:

We are seeking to appoint an Attendance Officer with commitment to the safeguarding of children and young people. The successful candidate will be working to support attendance across the academy, to ensure our students have the best chance possible regarding their education.

You will: 

  • Be commitment to the inclusion and success of all children
  • Be an excellent role model who actively promotes the skills, attributes and behaviour important in a school
  • Be highly organised and committed to working as part of a team.

We offer:

  • A unique and inspirational environment to work in
  • A committed and motivated team with the school and local community at their heart
  • A professional and collaborative school with a commitment to continued professional development
  • The opportunity to join a strong staff team, where our values are integral to all we do.

In a friendly and welcoming school with supportive colleagues, you'll be able to make a real impact on our academy, and on the lives of our children.

We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child’s background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.

Principal’s welcome – Ernulf Academy

Welcome to Ernulf Academy, an 11-16 secondary school in St.Neots located in North Cambridgeshire. The academy is part of Astrea Academy Trust, a highly successful multi-academy trust of primary and secondary academies in Cambridgeshire and South Yorkshire.

Ernulf Academy is a school fully committed to an inclusive, comprehensive curriculum for all, which is underpinned by our five core values: scholarship, curiosity, tenacity, responsibility and respect. These values are at the heart of our vision for the school and the important qualities and characteristics we want all pupils to develop. Our pupils are encouraged to develop confidence, independence and resilience. We strive for them to be ambitious and ‘be the best they can be’, whilst being considerate, tolerant and willing to contribute positively to the wider community.

Work hard

We firmly believe in a disruption free learning environment and as such we have established nine core routines which form the basis of our academic day. A knowledge-rich curriculum, built on ‘powerful knowledge,’ underpins our teaching and learning principles. We offer a traditional approach to teaching and learning following evidence-based research by Rosenshine and Teach Like A Champion (TLAC) which lead to inspiring and stimulating lessons. Our enrichment provision aims to take learning outside the classroom and we offer an extensive range of extra-curricular activities including sporting activities, residential visits and educational experiences.

Safeguarding is at the heart of what we do and we recognise the challenges that our pupils face. Therefore, we have a dedicated pastoral team with a Head of Year and Pastoral Co-ordinator for each year group and a ‘Wellbeing’ team including our school therapy dog.

Be kind

Ernulf Academy is a friendly and supportive school, which prides itself on treating everyone as individuals and having a ‘family’ atmosphere. We teach our pupils empathy and respect, and we have a zero tolerance to bullying. A scholarly approach is at our core but enabling our pupils to have a holistic education, preparing them for life in the 21st century and becoming global citizens is just as important.
