This is an exciting opportunity to join our growing Trust and to play an integral role in the growth and development of a new school joining our Trust in the Basingstoke area.
We are seeking a motivated, flexible and friendly team player with excellent organisational skills to undertake the day to day business management functions of the school and help with other financial, personnel or administrative tasks as required by the Trust.
South Farnham Educational Trust currently consists of six primary schools and one secondary school, increasing to two secondary schools later this year when Aldworth joins the Trust. The Trust also has an associate member, a Teaching School Hub and thriving SCITT.
Our Teaching School Hub is one of 87 centres of excellence for teaching training and development in the country. We provide high-quality professional development to teachers in over 300 schools and at each stage of their career (from TA to executive leadership), including outstanding teacher training, delivery of the Early Career Framework, National Professional Qualifications and Appropriate Body services. Our Appropriate Body currently supports and assesses over 800 Early Career Teachers each year and our RSHE Hub has trained over 1,000 schools since June 2020.
South Farnham SCITT is the largest and leading provider of Primary Initial Teacher Training (ITT) in the area. Our Ofsted outstanding provision has also been rated as No.3 in the UK for our School Direct programmes and No.1 in the UK for our employment rates (Good Teacher Training Guide, 2015 and 2017). We train over 170 teachers in schools across Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex, Berkshire and the London Boroughs each year and contribute to ITT at a national level.
Vision and purpose of the Trust
- To create a group of schools that have a shared commitment to ensuring the highest possible outcomes for their children.
- Through close co-operation children, parents and teachers will share professional expertise, training opportunities and facilities to ensure that the whole is greater than the part.
- To create a learning environment where the highest possible standards are a feature of all schools.
- To establish a shared understanding of what works and a reflective, research-based approach to school improvement.
- To celebrate and develop the uniqueness of each school within the MAT family of schools.
Hours of work: 36 hours a week Monday to Friday, 52 weeks a year.
