Tenbury High Ormiston Academy is a truly unique, small, rural 11-16 academy in the beautiful setting of North-West Worcestershire.  Our pupils are happy, well behaved and proud of their school.  The academy has a strong vein of moral purpose where the child is at the heart of all we do. We invest in our pupils and our staff to ensure all are supported to be the best they can be. 

We are looking to appoint an organised, reilient and highly flexible Exams Officer to start with us on Monday 23rd September 2024. The post sits within our support staff structure and will be line managed by our Assistant Principal with responsibility for Assessment and Progress.

Tenbury High Ormiston Academy has many exceptional features and is a great place to work.

• We offer an innovative, effective and bespoke CPD model providing regular opportunities for professional development;
• Our staff teams work collaboratively and supportively to provide the best provision for our pupils;
• We have a very committed, welcoming and hardworking staff

The post holder will play a pivotal role in the administration, management and conducting of exams across key stage four (years 10 and 11).  The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator, liaising with a range of internal and external stakeholders including parents, pupils, heads of department, teachers and invigilation staff.  The postholder will need to be flexible in the hours they can work; large parts of the year, the post will be fewer hours a week (even working from home) whilst at other times of the year, such as internal mock examinations and the summer exam season, the hours will be full time.

There will be full training and handover provided as well as ongoing training opportunities plus excellent line management from the senior leadership team.

Our new colleague will also benefit from being part of Ormiston Academies Trust, a MAT of 43 primary and secondary academies. The Trust’s vision is for all young people to have access to the highest academic, social and practical skills required to achieve their full potential.  OAT support all staff so that they can enhance and develop their professional skills whatever their role within the trust.

We would encourage all prospective candidates to visit the academy to tour and meet with other members of the staff and our pupils. I also encourage you to visit our website; take a look at our Facebook page and email Christine Sheppard (csheppard@tenburyhigh.co.uk) if you have any specific questions or to book a tour of the school.
