Data Manager

Holsworthy Community College is a small academy set in rural Devon whose values are based on unity, compassion and friendship. As one of the founding members of the Dartmoor Multi Academy Trust, we live the cooperative values that the Trust holds at its heart.

Our Trust comprises of 19 schools, 3 Colleges, 15 Primaries, and one All Through SEMH Special school. Established in 2018, We are situated in beautiful Devon on the out the outskirts of the stunning Dartmoor National Park. The schools vary in size and are all unique. Our schools are a large part of their local communities, and we value those relationships with families and locals.

The Trust was created to enable schools and staff to work closely together in providing the best education possible for our children. We achieve this through meaningful collaboration both within our schools and beyond our Trust to ensure schools are able to secure and sustain improvement.

Our work is built on our shared values and an unwavering belief that education improves the life chances for the children in our care. We aim for everyone in our organisation, staff and children, to be the best they can be and are relentless in our ambition to achieve this. We want our children to look back on their school experience with a sense of achievement and joy and we provide a wealth of additional curriculum experiences to enrich their learning.

We care deeply about the children in our schools and work with kindness, compassion, manners and respect. By modelling and expecting these behaviours from our children, we aim to grow future citizens who will positively contribute to society, creating a brighter future for our world.

Our vision and values are what we build our schools upon, with Ambition, Co-operation & Transformation being at the heart.

Summary of the Role:

• The Data and Information Manager will work alongside staff in school, and across DMAT, and other agencies and organisations, to promote the highest standards of effective management — and use — of data. Given the breadth, wealth, and disparity of data in use in schools, the Data and Information Manager will set and promote the highest standards of administrative efficiency to support the assurance of excellent, simple to use systems and clear processes for all staff.
• The Data and Information Manager will ensure that relevant data is used effectively by stakeholders to set and maintain the highest expectations and standards of performance, posing and answering questions about standards of attainment, trends over time, progress made by individual students, etc.
• Attention to detail, a high level of accuracy and the ability to work independently are required. The Data and Information Manager will thus demonstrate the drive and initiative to work in an independent and flexible manner where management of workload and personal organisation will be vital skills.
• The Data and Information Manager will help the College community in its drive to performance targets set by the College Senior Leadership Team and DMAT, so that an equitable distribution of the highest educational outcomes across student groups is established and sustained.
