Ours is a thriving school oversubscribed for the fifth year.

At Tor Bridge High we are committed to providing the ‘small schools’ experience to our students.   This means that, within our bigger organisation of Tor Bridge High, we run smaller primary sized secondary schools, of which Tenzing School is one.   The School Administrator role is pivotal in our work with students, staff and parent(s)/carer(s) in improving attendance, behaviour and academic outcomes.

The successful candidate will be required to provide administrative support to the Tenzing team which comprises a Head of School, Deputy Head of School, Assistant Head of School and, of course, the Administrator.  Each school has a wider focus of responsibility for the Administrator – within Tenzing this relates to providing attendance data and tracking to tutors, teacher, Curriculum Leaders and members of the Senior Leadership Team (SALT).

Excellent inter-personal and communication skills to work with students and staff day to day, along with good organisational skills that will help you run a busy school office are essential to this role.  In addition, you must be able to work under pressure, be an excellent team player and be highly collaborative when working with all partner schools.

Previous experience of working in an educational environment is desirable.
