• Providing an efficient administrative service supporting the smooth running of the school.
• Administration relating to school meals including providing the kitchen with daily numbers, taking payment from parents, reconciling our online payment system Parentpay, and chasing debts.
• Administration relating to the management of First Aid including checking of kits, ordering stock and the completion of medical forms.
The ideal candidate will:
• Have relevant qualifications and experience relating to office administration.
• Knowledge/experience of RM Integris and Parentpay systems would be an advantage.
• Have practical experience of customer service.
• Be willing to take part in relevant CPD.

• Happy, enthusiastic and well-behaved children.
• A school with exciting and attractive learning environments.
• An opportunity to work with a close-knit team.
• A leadership team who welcome fresh ideas, traditional values and a sense of teamwork.
