The school is known for its strong academic culture, excellent pastoral care and well-established systems. Staff work collaboratively to ensure families, pupils and visitors experience a welcoming, efficient and professional service.

Assisting with organisation of school events, meetings and administrative processes
Supporting pupil-related administration such as registers, reports or student services (as required)
Managing post, deliveries and general office coordination
Working closely with colleagues to ensure office systems are efficient and consistently followed
This role requires strong organisational skills, excellent written communication and the ability to manage priorities in a busy, high-expectation setting.
The Team
You will join a professional, friendly and well-organised admin team that takes pride in providing a high-quality service. Staff work closely together, supporting senior leaders, teachers and families through clear systems and consistent communication.
