PolyMAT is a small but ambitious Multi-Academy Trust with a unique family feel. Our vision is Success for Everyone, and we are seeking a dedicated Exams Invigilator and Scribe to help deliver this vision across our schools.

 We currently comprise three schools: 

•  Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys – a long-established and successful boys’ secondary school 
• Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls – opened in 2019 and has quickly become a beacon of success and progress 
• Bannockburn Primary School – a large, successful primary school that joined the Trust in November 2023 

We also have a thriving co-educational Sixth Form provision.

At PolyMAT, we pride ourselves on a culture of high standards, underpinned by our core values of Care and Unity. We offer a rewarding environment where students and staff feel valued, supported, and part of a close-knit community. Our schools and departments work collaboratively to ensure the best outcomes for all.

Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys is seeking reliable, professional and linguistically skilled individuals to join our Exams Team as an Exam Invigilator and Scribe.

• Reliability, neutrality, and strong professional conduct.
• Ability to follow strict regulatory and confidentiality requirements.
