Pastoral Administrator

Do you want to work at a school where staff thrive and students flourish. Where relationships matter, where wellbeing isn't just a slogan, and where colleagues genuinely enjoy coming to work? Do you want to join a school where staff feel valued, supported and proud of what they achieve together?

Here's what sets us apart:

A Warm, Supportive Team

You'll join colleagues who collaborate daily, celebrate success and share a mission to provide an exceptional experience for every student.

A School That Truly Invests in Staff

We offer high-quality CPD, coaching, mentoring and leadership development. Our staff retention is strong because colleagues feel supported, trusted and appreciated.

Wellbeing Comes First

A dedicated wellbeing hour, Mental Health First Aiders, family-friendly policies and a culture that actively protects work-life balance.

And most importantly, you'll feel the difference the moment you walk through the door.

As one colleague shared: "I'm very happy here and feel respected and looked after."
