Admissions & Attendance Manager

Admissions & Attendance Manager Thank you for your interest in the role of Admissions and Attendance Manager at Greyfriars Catholic School, part of The Pope Francis Multi Academy Company (PFMAC) within the Archdiocese of Birmingham. We are seeking an exceptional individual to join our pastoral and operational leadership team in a role that sits at the heart of our mission to champion every student. This is an exciting opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of young people and their families by ensuring that students are welcomed into our community with care, professionalism and high expectations, and that they attend school every day, ready to learn. At Greyfriars, we believe that education changes lives. Every student deserves the opportunity to flourish academically, socially and personally, and that journey begins long before they enter the classroom. First impressions matter. The way we welcome families, manage admissions and support students through periods of transition sets the tone for everything that follows. This role combines responsibility for the strategic and operational management of admissions with a key role in supporting whole-school attendance. Working within our Attendance Hub, the successful candidate will oversee all aspects of the admissions process, including in-year admissions, managed moves, Fair Access and the permanent exclusion process. They will ensure that every student receives a carefully planned transition into Greyfriars, recognising that some of our most vulnerable students need the greatest care, preparation and support. Alongside this, the Admissions and Attendance Manager will work closely with our Attendance Team to remove barriers to attendance, strengthen relationships with families and ensure that students are able to access the full educational opportunities available to them. We know that students can only benefit from an outstanding education if they are here, and attendance remains one of the most significant priorities for schools nationally. We are looking for someone who combines excellent organisational skills with warmth, resilience and professionalism. This role requires someone who can manage complex processes, communicate confidently with families and external agencies, and build positive relationships with colleagues across the school. Above all, we are looking for someone who believes, as we do, that every child deserves to belong and every family deserves to feel welcomed and supported. Our vision at Greyfriars is that we are a Catholic school that champions every student so they can flourish individually and collectively. In this role, you will play a vital part in ensuring that students are able to access the education they deserve from their very first day with us. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you wish to seek further information. I would be delighted to personally show you around our wonderful school and discuss this exciting opportunity in more det
