We have been recently graded as 'Good' in all areas by Ofsted and we are continuing to ensure that we provide the very best education for all our students.
The Exams Department is an integral part of school life. Our aim is to ensure that all students are treated fairly within the examination environment and that the rules and regulations of the JCQ and Awarding Bodies are upheld.

Availability during these time periods is essential.
This position is suitable for individuals from all backgrounds with a variety of skillsets, regardless of your stage of career. If you are looking for a flexible position that requires working only a few weeks a year then this is the role for you.
