• Managing and responding to internal and external communications in a clear, timely and solution-focused way.
• Handling pupil information with sensitivity and in line with data protection standards.
• Providing admin support to teams across the school – from pastoral to site, SEND to teaching staff – depending on the day’s needs.

In Addition, You Will Be Supported to Develop a Specialism In:

• A focused area of school operations, such as:
  • Annual Review and EHCP administration
  • Medical and care records coordination
  • Attendance tracking and follow-up
  • School communications and website updates
