Overview
As our School Secretary, you won't just be managing paperwork and phone calls - you'll be at the very heart of our thriving community. With such a small school, you'll get to know every child, every parent, and every visitor personally, becoming a trusted and familiar presence in daily school life. Whether it's welcoming people with a smile, supporting staff behind the scenes, or helping make special events run smoothly, your role will be full of meaningful connections. This is a rare opportunity to be more than just an administrator - you'll be an integral part of the fabric of our school.
Thornborough Infant School is proud to be known as "The Small School with A Lot Going On" - a truly unique place where a maximum of 45 children learn and thrive in a close-knit, supportive environment. Set in beautiful grounds, our pupils enjoy forest school sessions, specialist coaching, and a curriculum where play remains central throughout their time with us. Our size means each admin task is manageable, but the variety is endless - from day-to-day organisation to supporting the wonderful activities that make our school so distinctive. No two days are ever quite the same, and you'll quickly see why our staff and wider community feel so fortunate to be part of this exceptional place.
