Job Purpose:
Achievement through Collaboration is a Trust with a purpose! We want our children, our staff and our schools to Achieve, Belong and Collaborate. To achieve our purpose, we know there are things we need to get right!


Through a clear definition and articulation of the values and beliefs of Achievement through Collaboration, we’ve built an organisation with children at the heart of everything we do.
Our Trust Board owns the strategic plan, holding the executive team to account to deliver it whilst delegating the correct things to the Local Governing Bodies (LGB). LGBs are supported to build their role around the children, parents and staff of their individual school whilst expressing the “we” of the Trust.


A strong central team connects the academies enabling leaders and teachers to concentrate on educational delivery. We now wish to add to the Central team through the appointment of a Data Manager.


The Trust-wide Data Manager will play a crucial role in supporting the Trust's commitment to data-driven school improvement. In the first instance, the Data Manager will be based at Witton Park Academy, Blackburn, to support the development of systems for monitoring and evaluating pupil progress. The post holder will also support the Trust's commitment to the continuous improvement of its schools through the production, analysis, and evaluation of key metrics and be able to present information in a wide range of reports to a range of stakeholders.


Key Responsibilities:

• Data Systems Development and Management Lead the development, implementation, and maintenance of robust data capture systems across the Trust, ensuring data is live, accurate, accessible, and well-presented for various stakeholders

• Data Analysis and Reporting Produce statistical analyses of local, regional, and national data, including statutory benchmarks and outcomes data, to inform improvement plans.

• Training and Support Provide support, guidance, and training to school Data Managers, ensuring consistent and effective use of data systems across the Trust.

• Alignment with Trust and School Values embody the core At C Trust values, driving a culture of continuous improvement, fostering a sense of community, and working in partnership with all stakeholders.

Welcome to Witton Park Academy

Innovating… Engaging… Caring… Learning… Succeeding Together.
With pride and passion we unite our school and our local community, and lead the drive to be ‘always learning’.
We are extremely proud of our school; the achievements of our pupils, the expertise and dedication of our staff, our outstanding facilities and our reputation as a centre of excellence.
Our ultra-modern school buildings allow our pupils to flourish in facilities for learning that truly do enable us to trail blaze innovative learning – from the bright and attractive classrooms, to the fully equipped outside play areas, the facilities allow our pupils to fully explore their talents and to shine in those areas that they most enjoy.
A building, however, is only as good as the people working within; we believe we have some of the best students and teachers in the world. Staff and pupils benefit from the investment we place on their development: as well as playing a key part in supporting other schools through the Achievement through Collaboration Trust, we have a variety of external partners from Google, The Schools, Students and Teacher Network and with University College London. Partnerships like these create opportunities for all members of our team.
We understand how important choosing the right school is and so, on behalf of our pupils and staff, we warmly invite you to visit our school and experience for yourself the quality of education we offer.
