If you share our school values of kindness, curiosity, and resilience, and are excited to contribute to a vibrant and ambitious learning community, we would love to hear from you.

We are seeking a highly organised and proactive Administrative and Data Assistant to join our team on a fixed-term basis. This short-term opportunity is ideal for someone with strong administrative skills, excellent IT literacy, and experience of working with a school Management Information System (MIS).
