Admissions & Data Administrator - Secondary School,...

A busy and well-regarded secondary school in Wolverhampton is looking to appoint a highly organised Admissions & Data Administrator to join its office and information team. This role plays a vital part in supporting student transitions, maintaining accurate records and ensuring the smooth running of school systems.

The school serves a diverse local community and is known for its clear routines, positive relationships and well-structured pastoral systems. The admin team is central to this success, working closely with senior leaders, pastoral staff and families.

The Role

This is a varied and rewarding role that combines admissions administration with student data management. You will be a key point of contact for families, external agencies and internal staff, ensuring information is accurate, timely and handled professionally.

Responsibilities include:

• Managing admissions processes, including applications, offers and transitions

• Maintaining accurate pupil records on the school’s MIS

• Supporting census returns and statutory data submissions

• Updating attendance, safeguarding and pastoral records

• Responding to parent and staff queries in a professional manner

• Producing reports for senior leaders and pastoral teams

The School Setting

The school operates clear systems and workflows, meaning staff are supported rather than overwhelmed. Training is provided for all systems, and the admin team works collaboratively, sharing knowledge and supporting one another during peak periods such as admissions and census deadlines.

Leadership places a strong emphasis on data accuracy, student welfare and respectful communication with families.

Who This Role Would Suit

This position would suit someone who:

• Has experience in administration, ideally within education or a public-facing role

• Is confident handling sensitive data and confidential information

• Has strong attention to detail and organisational skills

• Can manage competing priorities calmly and effectively

• Enjoys working as part of a close-knit, professional team

Experience using SIMS, Arbor or similar systems would be beneficial but not essential.

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary aligned with local authority or academy scales

• Supportive induction and ongoing training

• A stable role within a well-run school

• Friendly, professional working environment

• Term-time working pattern

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced administrator looking to build a long-term role within a school that values accuracy, teamwork and strong communication.
