Stacey Jackson  

Attendance Improvement Manager

I joined Ellis Guilford School in March 2021 as Attendance Improvement Manager bringing with me over 9 years’ experience in school attendance.  

In my role, I collaborate closely with children, parents/carers, school staff, and external agencies to identify and address any barriers affecting regular school attendance. I am also the main point of contact for all attendance-related matters concerning Year 7 children, supporting their transition into secondary school and fostering positive attendance habits from the outset.

It is a privilege to help young people access their education fully. By encouraging regular attendance, we help create strong foundations for both academic success and future opportunities

I joined Ellis Guilford in December 2022 as Attendance Improvement Leader. I visit students and their families at home to ensure their wellbeing and to help them with attending school. 

I work closely with Year 8 and 11 students including SEND students to improve their attendance and to support them with attendance issues. This role enables me to work closely with students and families, supporting them with opportunities that education offers.

 I joined Ellis Guilford in September 2025 and enjoy being part of a very motivated team helping to improve attendance. 

I enjoy supporting and helping students access education and achieve their goals. Building a relationship with students and helping them to overcome barriers they have to be in school daily is a top priority. I strongly believe communication is a crucial first step when offering support and work strongly to form good links between both parents and students.
