By conducting in-depth data analysis, the role aims to identify trends, patterns, and insights related to student performance, attendance, behaviour, and other relevant operational metrics.

In addition to core analytical tasks, the Data Analytics Team Leader will line manage the data manager and a data visualisation developer, ensuring the seamless integration of their work with overall data strategy. This includes coordinating tasks, providing guidance, and mentoring team members to develop a collaborative and productive environment.

Regular reports and dashboards will be designed and generated to communicate academic and operational data findings and insights to school leadership, departmental, and other stakeholders. Additionally, the role provides support and guidance to staff on interpreting and utilising academic data to inform instructional strategies, intervention initiatives, and student support services.

Collaboration with all college stakeholders is essential to ensure data integrity, security, and compliance with relevant regulations and best practices.
