Senior Data Officer - Secondary School - Coventry

A high-performing 11–18 secondary school in Coventry is seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Senior Data Officer to join its wider administration and operations team. This is a key role supporting school improvement, assessment tracking and strategic decision-making across the school.

The school places a strong emphasis on using data intelligently and proportionately — to support teaching and learning, not to create unnecessary workload.

The Role

As Senior Data Officer, you will take responsibility for the management, analysis and presentation of student performance data across the school. Working closely with senior leaders, heads of department and pastoral teams, you’ll ensure that data is accurate, timely and meaningful.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing whole-school assessment and tracking systems

• Producing reports for leadership, governors and external returns

• Supporting departments with data interpretation and analysis

• Overseeing examination data and outcomes reporting

• Maintaining accuracy across student records and assessment cycles

You’ll play a vital role in helping leaders identify trends, target support effectively and monitor progress in a balanced, sensible way.

The School

This is a large, well-organised secondary school with a Good Ofsted rating and a reputation for strong outcomes and excellent behaviour. Leadership is structured, professional and collaborative, with clear communication between teaching and support staff.

The school has invested in robust systems and is keen to continue refining how data supports learning rather than driving unnecessary bureaucracy.

Working Environment

You’ll be part of a friendly, experienced admin team where roles are clearly defined and workloads are manageable. The leadership team values precision, confidentiality and professionalism, and support staff are treated as integral to the school’s success.

Training is provided on the school’s systems, and there is ongoing support to ensure processes run smoothly.

What the School Is Looking For

• Strong experience working with school data systems

• Excellent attention to detail and analytical skills

• Confidence working with large datasets and reporting tools

• Ability to communicate findings clearly to non-specialists

• A calm, organised and solution-focused approach

Experience within a secondary school or academy setting is highly desirable.

Why This Role Is Appealing

• Central role in school improvement and strategy

• Professional, well-led working environment

• Clear systems and realistic expectations

• Opportunity to develop expertise and influence practice

• Competitive salary reflecting responsibility

An excellent opportunity for a Data Officer looking to step into a senior, impactful role within a stable and well-run secondary school.
