SalaryKirklees Council are advertising this role on behalf of Royds Hall.
We seek an enthusiastic and passionate Attendance Manager to lead on the operational and strategical responsibilities in the area of student attendance at school.
Royds Hall is a small secondary school that achieved a Progress 8 score of 0.2 in 2023, and in March of the same year, Royds Hall was graded 'Good' in all categories by Ofsted. We enjoy strong behaviour for learning and a curriculum that is ambitious for all and well-sequenced. Staff wellbeing is central to our vision of 'valuing people, supporting personal best. Visitors and staff regularly share that the school is warm and supportive, with high expectations for all.
We also offer pupils a wealth of extended learning opportunities from Royds Hall Scholars, Duke of Edinburgh, debating society, and Steam Lab to knitting for fun. The PE department supports our pupils in representing the school in a wide range of sports, including basketball, netball, and athletics. We take part in the annual Speakers' Trust event and have been successful in reaching the final in recent years. Pupils gain from a wealth of opportunities offered, including leadership opportunities in every year group. In 2023, 100% of pupils took part in an extended learning opportunity. A strong belief exists that offering a wide range of extended learning opportunities ignites pupil interests and allows them to uncover skills and abilities that support their sense of achievement and happiness in school and into adulthood. We believe every child can succeed, and it is our privilege to provide them with opportunities to identify their talents, future dreams, and aspirations.
“We are delighted to officially announce that the inspection team rated Royds Hall a Share Academy as a ‘Good’ school. We are exceptionally proud of what our staff and pupils have achieved in the last five years. Whilst the outcome doesn’t change the way we work, it provides further evidence of the very positive journey of improvement we are on. We will continue to focus on what matters for our pupils and community and ensure that our pupils leave school fully equipped with the life skills, experiences and educational outcomes to enjoy a happy and successful future.” – May 2023
