We maintained our ‘Good’ grading in our last OFSTED inspection in July 2023 and our work to promote children’s wellbeing and safety was noted as an asset of the school: “Pupils’ rights and responsibilities are at the heart of this community. Leaders empower pupils with a ‘voice’ to share their views. Pupils are encouraged to contribute positively to school life through the opportunities provided to them.”

Role details
This role would suit someone who has relevant admin experience and is looking to work part time. The suggested working hours are 25 hours per week, and we could be flexible to start and finish times for the right candidate. On Wednesdays the post holder will be required to take notes at the staff briefing in the morning before school and assist with covering the office after school. As our governing board meetings also take place on Wednesdays, the post holder would stay on to clerk for these three times a term.
This role is term time only, including INSET (staff training) days. An additional 2 weeks are assigned within the contract for governors meetings, this time would be worked in the evenings during term time.
