We require a flexible and motivated person with
excellent IT and communication skills.
Daily activities would include using the school’s
management information system (BromCom)
at each lesson to monitor student attendance,
liaising with staff and parents/carers where
students are absent from lessons and ensuring
lesson registers are completed promptly.
Additional roles would include tracking student
attendance using spreadsheets to highlight
trends and patterns in both student attendance
and the attendance of student groups and
cohorts. The Attendance Officer will work
closely with the school’s pastoral team and the
Education Welfare Officer focussing on students
with low attendance and monitoring strategies
to improve their attendance. Candidates should
have a good general education and the ability
to relate to young people is essential.
The King Edward VI School
Cheviot Learning Trust was created in 2023 from
a merger of Tyne Community Learning Trust and
Three Rivers Learning Trust. The new Trust will
enable our high quality staff from across all of our
schools to cooperate through professional and
innovative networks that develop the educational
excellence all of our students deserve. We educate
over 5500 students across 18 schools between the
ages of 2 and 19 and employ over 750 staff. We
are a charity supported by over 150 governance
volunteers who hold us to account in their role
as critical friends. We are proud Northumbrians;
more than happy to welcome schools to join
us from inside or outside Northumberland. All
of the schools have a long and proud history of
providing an excellent education service to their
local populations. We are seen locally as a centre
of educational excellence and were selected
to be the Teaching School Hub for Newcastle,
Northumberland & North Tyneside. We recognise
the mutual benefits to our Learning Trust through
reciprocal staff development opportunities,
training events, and the generation of new ways
of working through system leadership. Through
our teaching, we aim to equip children with the
skills, knowledge and understanding necessary
to be able to make informed choices about the
important things in their lives. We believe that
appropriate teaching and learning experiences
help children to lead happy and rewarding lives.
