We have been recently graded as 'Good' in all areas by Ofsted and we are continuing to ensure that we provide the very best education for all our students in an inclusive environment.


We are seeking to appoint a dedicated and highly organised

individual

to oversee all aspects of examinations management throughout the academic year. This is a pivotal role within the school, ensuring the smooth and effective administration of both internal and external examinations, in line with school policies, JCQ regulations and the requirements of awarding bodies.


The majority of external examinations take place during

May and July

, while internal assessments are held at various points across the year. During quieter periods, the successful candidate will also support the wider school administration team.

Key Responsibilities:

Managing the full examinations process, including entries, timetabling and results. Recruiting, coordinating, training and supporting a team of invigilators. Liaising with staff, students, Parents/Carers and examination boards. Ensuring compliance with JCQ and awarding body regulations, including working with the JCQ Inspector during school visits.
