- Keeps accurate records and supports the smooth day‑to‑day running of the school through strong organisation, ICT skills, and attention to detail.
- Manages pupil information and attendance efficiently, with the ability to prioritise and stay composed in a busy environment.
- Supports a wide range of administrative tasks, including communications, bookings, and general office duties, with a proactive, “can‑do” approach.
- Works closely with staff to meet pupils’ day‑to‑day needs, demonstrating teamwork, efficiency, and empathy.
At our school, you will find:
- Children who are enthusiastic, kind and eager to learn
- A genuinely supportive and collaborative staff team
- A school where wellbeing and professional trust are valued
- Opportunities for training, development and growing your expertise
