This role is pivotal to the success of the school’s administrative function. This is a very senior position within the school’s support staff and the range of responsibilities it encompasses are varied.

We are proud of our excellent reputation within the region and positive feedback we receive from students, parents, staff and external organisations such as Ofsted.
