Description
Attendance at school is vital to ensure that students make the very best progress and achieve their full potential.

The EWO will work alongside key school staff to reduce levels of absence and work with students and families to promote high levels of attendance.

Children missing education are at significant risk of underachieving, being victims of harm, exploitation or radicalisation and becoming NEET (not in education, employment or training) later in life.

By working with students of families to encourage good attendance to school, the EWO will have a substantial impact on students' life chances.


We are seeking an outstanding applicant with integrity, imagination and drive to join us in September to provide operational and administrative support to promote whole school attendance strategies.


This includes:


Daily input of attendance data including any first day absence calls, and investigating any missing data, and maintaining accurate attendance records, including unexplained lesson absences.

Ensure the electronic registration system is updated daily investigating any missing data with class teachers.

To record student absences and late arrivals on school systems, maintaining accurate attendance records.


To support parents/carers to improve their children's attendance by making initial enquiries with parents/carers regarding unexplained absences/lateness - including first day calling.


  • Promote good attendance within the school.
  • To process and action student holiday requests.
  • To issue routine correspondence to parents/carers regarding attendance/absence requests in accordance with the school procedure.
In return, we will help you innovate and continue your professional development.


We offer a competitive salary that is among the best in our sector, pension scheme, full independent school holidays and membership of an occupational health scheme.

Serenity Education is committed to the safeguarding of children and expects applicants to share this commitment.
