It is essential to have good communication and relationships with all our stakeholders; being a people person and good communicator is essential whilst maintaining professionalism and upholding the school’s values.

Experience of working in a school office and knowledge of packages like ParentPay is desirable. You will need a good telephone manner, proficient ICT skills and excellent English language, spelling and grammar.
