This is an exciting opportunity to lead and support the next stage of data innovation across Bridewell Royal Hospital's family of schools - King Edward's Witley, Barrow Hills and Longacre.

As Data Manager, you will combine hands-on operational responsibility with strategic leadership to ensure that every system, process and report works seamlessly and securely. From day-to-day administration of iSAMS, Engage and associated platforms (Teams, MySchoolPortal, CPOMS and SchoolPost) to major projects such as the implementation of a single, group-wide management information system (MIS), you will oversee the full data life cycle. You will provide accurate and timely information for staff, pupils and parents, streamline reporting, and make sure that data supports teaching, learning and decision-making at every level.

You will work closely with the Director of Studies, Director of ICT and senior colleagues across Bridewell, managing projects, setting standards and providing expert support to ensure consistency and compliance. Based at King Edward's Witley - a flourishing coeducational day and boarding school on a beautiful 100-acre Surrey campus - the role offers both strategic influence and daily impact.

We are seeking an innovative, technically skilled and collaborative professional who relishes combining operational excellence with forward-thinking development, and who shares our commitment to using data intelligently to support education and the wider Bridewell mission.

Longacre School is a thriving, co-educational preparatory school for boys and girls aged 2 to 11 years. Set in a beautiful rural location on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Shamley Green, between Guildford and Cranleigh, the school offers a wonderful environment for young children.

In return, we offer a rewarding environment, including substantially reduced school fees at King Edward's Witley, Barrow Hills and Longacre Schools, as well as a number of notable benefits such as free school lunches, free on-site parking, use of our schools' gym and pool facilities & competitive rates of pay.
