About this role
The role is to work alongside the Attendance and Welfare Officer to promote excellent attendance, reduce the level of absence and work with children and families to promote high levels of attendance through accurate record keeping.
Located in the historic market town of Epworth, North Lincolnshire, between Doncaster and Scunthorpe and within easy commuting distance of Rotherham, Sheffield, Leeds, East Yorkshire and Lincoln, South Axholme Academy draws students from over 25 primary schools across North Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Doncaster. We are regularly oversubscribed, which reflects the confidence families place in us.
Our academic outcomes consistently exceed the national average, reflecting our strong commitment to excellence. Equally important is nurturing the whole child by developing not only academic potential but also confidence, character, and wellbeing. Beyond the classroom, our vibrant calendar offers a wide range of events and enrichment opportunities, from sponsored walks and drama productions to sports clubs, educational visits, and community celebrations like Christmas carol concerts and senior citizens parties. Central to our ethos is the South Axholme Mindset—being Ready, Respectful, and Resilient—which guides everything we do and inspires everyone to Expect Excellence.
Knowing our students, staff, and families well allows us to provide a broad, balanced, and inclusive curriculum tailored to individual needs. As part of our commitment to support, we are developing a new study hub with North Lincolnshire Council, providing a smaller, focused environment for students who benefit from additional support.
South Axholme Academy is a vibrant, ambitious and welcoming school with a strong track record of excellence in all areas. As Principal, it is an honour to lead this community as we continue the next phase of our journey, one that I am confident will be filled with even greater success.
