Exam Invigilator job summary

Thank you for your interest in working at our school. Poynton High is a great school, full of inspirational young people and exceptionally talented staff. As Headteacher I am proud to have such a supportive, expert and engaged staff team and I hope that you will wish to move forward on your application and look to join us in due course.

We are looking to add to our team of Exam Invigilators who support the running of our internal and external exams. The hours are flexible as a number of invigilators are required for each exam. There will be a full induction programme into the post.

Our school has served the families of Poynton, Disley, Adlington and surrounding areas since 1972 and we lie at the heart of this community’s learning needs. We pride ourselves on our vision as a school which serves our whole community and which works in partnership with our colleagues in other schools. We have approximately 1450 students in Years 7 to 13 and offer a wide range of A levels in our successful Sixth Form.

Our staff support our students in an extraordinary range of ways and at the heart of this lies our House System. Every member of staff and every student is in one of our four Houses and we have an extensive programme of House Activities on offer; from House Water Polo to House Fishing, from House General Knowledge to House Dragons’ Den; as well as the traditional football, rugby, lacrosse, athletics, basketball, etc.

The school motto is INSPIRE ACHIEVE CELEBRATE and we apply that to every element of school life. Our role as staff is to ensure that we inspire every student to achieve the best they possibly can in everything they do, whether that be academic, sporting, cultural or in the community and at the heart of our culture is a celebration of that achievement. We hope that as a prospective member of staff you will share our mission to “inspire and empower all within our learning community to fulfil their individual potential and ambitions so that all are able to be active and successful citizens in our global society”.

Our students and our staff are our greatest resource and we were very pleased that Ofsted formally recognised this in our most recent inspection, saying that our “teachers know their pupils well. This allows them to use their subject expertise to question pupils very effectively to extend their learning and check understanding, knowledge and skill development.”

Poynton High School is a very calm and purposeful learning environment and our students are exceptionally engaged in their learning and the life of their school. “most pupils demonstrate very positive attitudes to learning by their interest and enthusiasm in class and their participation in a wide range of enrichment activities. Pupils are generally confident and feel well cared for. They are proud of their school (Ofsted Dec 2015).”
