What’s special about this role & who are we looking for?
This role is ideal for candidates looking to support pupils having the best possible secondary school provision. It’s an exciting time to join our team as our founding pupils embark on year 11. This year, we will be running our first GCSE examinations in Heritage Languages and our Examinations Officer will also oversee our end of year examinations in the exam hall for years 7 – 10.
Across school life, we embed high aspirations and a growth mindset in all of our children. We believe that every single child who joins us has the potential to be knowledgeable, articulate and successful. It’s important this resonates with all candidates. The Lead Invigilator will uphold the high standards of support set by the founding team. Read more about this role and our ideal candidate here: Job description & Person specification
Why will you love our school?
There are lots of reasons! We’re lucky to be based in a brand-new building with top class facilities. We serve a wonderfully diverse community - we are non-denominational, mixed gender and two fifths of our pupils receive pupil premium funding. We’re led by our values - Aim High, Have Integrity, Be Kind and Model Determination and our team truly unite behind our vision. Curriculum is incredibly important to us and we’ve planned backwards from university readiness to give our pupils the very best in every subject discipline. Our extended school day (we finish at 4 four days a week and earlier on Wednesday) allows us to offer a broad, rich curriculum and timetabled enrichment for every child - but we never have meetings after school. Our team say: ‘All staff are incredibly supportive and positive and it is a great environment to work in’. Read more about our school here
