Data Manager

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY USING THE DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL WEBSITE, PLEASE SEE DETAILS BELOW.

Join us on an exciting journey of transformation and excellence.
At Tapestry Learning Partnership, we believe in the power of education to change lives. Formed in January 2026 through the merger of two strong trusts, QEGSMAT and Djanogly Learning Trust, we are building a future where every child succeeds and flourishes. Now, we are looking for a passionate and committed Data Manager to play a vital role in supporting this vision at Chellaston Academy.

About the Role

As Data Manager, you will lead the effective management and development of the academy's data and information systems, ensuring that accurate, reliable and meaningful data is available to support teaching, learning and school improvement. Working closely with Senior Leaders, you will oversee key processes including student progress and attainment reporting, admissions, statutory returns, examinations data, timetable support and transition activities. You will play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with GDPR and data protection regulations, maintaining the integrity of school data, and producing high-quality analysis and reports that inform strategic decision-making across the academy. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and highly organised professional to make a significant contribution to the success of our students and the continued development of our academy.

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for an experienced and detail-oriented data professional with a strong understanding of data management, analysis and information systems. You will have a proven track record of working accurately with complex data, meeting deadlines and maintaining high standards of compliance and confidentiality. The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator, capable of presenting data clearly to a range of audiences and building effective relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders. Experience of working within an educational environment, knowledge of MIS and reporting systems, and an understanding of school performance measures and statutory data requirements would be advantageous. Above all, you will be proactive, highly organised and committed to supporting the academy's vision of enabling every student to achieve their full potential.

About Chellaston Academy
At Chellaston Academy, children are at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is to create mature, confident and successful global citizens who can thrive in an ever-changing world, guided by our shared values of Integrity, Care and Excellence.

While strong academic outcomes matter, we believe success is defined by far more than examination results. We are committed to developing the whole person, nurturing qualities such as self-confidence, self-belief and self-esteem, and recognising and celebrating individual talents.

Our students benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum, and we work closely with parents and carers to ensure that, when expectations are high and shared, every child can achieve great things. This includes promoting an excellent attitude centred on respect, high standards of appearance, good manners, full attendance and punctuality.

Chellaston Academy is a school where:

• Diversity is celebrated and inclusion shapes everything we do.
• Children feel safe, happy and supported.
• High expectations drive achievement for all.
• Relationships between staff and students are strong, respectful and built on trust.
• Staff wellbeing is valued, and colleagues genuinely enjoy being part of our community.

Why Join Tapestry Learning Partnership?
As part of our Trust, you’ll benefit from:

• A supportive network of professionals who share your commitment to excellence
• High-quality professional development and career progression opportunities
• A caring, inclusive organisation that values staff wellbeing and work–life balance
• Access to a range of employee benefits designed to promote health and wellbeing

This is your chance to be part of something special. Help us shape the future and make a lasting impact.
