What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint an experienced administrator to provide essential support to our finance office. We are looking to recruit somebody with excellent administration and organisational skills and although experience of working in a busy school environment is not essential, it would be desirable. The post requires providing some support additionally to our Reception Team.
Excellent IT skills, especially using MS Excel, would be an advantage, but comprehensive training will be provided in the various systems that are used in this role. This is fantastic opportunity for somebody who is looking for a new challenge working in a busy school environment.
What the school offers its staff
FCC is an 11-18 local authority, mixed comprehensive with over 1500 students on roll and a thriving sixth form. In October 2024 OFSTED confirmed our ‘Good’ status originally achieved in January 2016. The school has a good record of academic outcomes and pastoral support and our core values of achievement, care and equality underpin our work, creating a happy and vibrant school. Felpham is in a strong position academically. Our exam results show a rising trend and we anticipate this continuing with our current year 11 and year 13 students. A well planned and resourced curriculum, along with support from staff and governors in partnership with students and parents has helped us to achieve this, and we will continue to strive to improve further. We do recognise that great schools are about more than just exam results and we have worked hard to create an exciting, engaging and broad curriculum for all students. At Felpham, we believe in getting the basics right so we have also focussed on developing a safe, calm and purposeful learning environment, with excellent student behaviour and a smart school uniform. In late 2019, the school saw the completion of significant building work costing £11.5M. Students now benefit from fantastic modern facilities in our new three-storey block that replaced all of our older classrooms. Whilst great schools are about the people in them and not just the buildings, the enhanced facilities at Felpham are a massive boost. Visitors to our school regularly comment on our happy and enthusiastic students and excellent behaviour. This does not happen in a school by accident and requires constant attention and commitment from all staff. We are not complacent at Felpham and are continually planning for progress. In 2023 we became one of a select group of secondary schools in England to achieve the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Gold Award and student leadership remains a strength of the school that we wish to enhance further. Our staff take part in a comprehensive CPD programme that puts quality teaching and learning at the forefront of classroom practice. Our strong pastoral system is based around linear tutor groups and year groups led by Year Leaders (who are teachers) and Year Managers (who are non-teaching associate members of staff). We are an inclusive school and benefit from a variety of successful on-site provisions to aid this. In order to find out more about our school please take a look at our website (http://www.felpham.com) which provides links to our OFSTED report, details about the school, recent newsletters, our prospectus and other information.
