• Statutory Submission Management: Take ownership of the preparation and submission of all statutory data returns, including the critical DfE Census, ensuring complete compliance and timely submission for both academies.
• Strategic Reporting: Produce high-quality, ad hoc reports beyond the scope of current Trust data provision to deliver detailed, actionable data insights for teaching staff and senior school leaders.
• Primary Data Liaison: Act as the first point of contact for all data-related enquiries within the allocated academies, providing authoritative guidance and support.

This is an opportunity to leverage your data management expertise to directly influence educational outcomes and strategic direction within a supportive central team structure.

The successful candidate will possess a proven combination of technical mastery and educational data compliance knowledge:

• MIS Expertise (Technical Proficiency): Demonstrated expert knowledge of school Management Information Systems (MIS) is required. Direct, proven experience with Bromcom is strongly preferred.
• Educational Data Compliance: A deep and current understanding of UK educational data requirements, including DfE returns, statutory census submissions, and key performance indicators (KPIs), is mandatory.
