Judged by Ofsted as outstanding, the amazing thing about Outwood Academy Portland is what happens every day in every lesson.
We are seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding ICT skills to fulfil the role of Exams & Assessment Assistant. Reporting directly to the Exams and Assessment Officer, you will be required to work some days in August when examination results are published.
To be successful, you will have excellent communication skills, good time management, and the ability to multitask and work to tight deadlines. It’s essential that you have accuracy, attention to detail and excellent organisational skills, in addition to proficiency in the use of excel spreadsheets. Experience of working within a school environment and the use of SIMS is desirable, but not essential as training will be given.
We have created an educational environment where staff and students constantly strive to improve; where teachers sharpen their skills and expand their repertoires to deliver an outstanding learning experience; and where teachers, classroom assistants, mentors, tutors, inclusion support assistants and students operate as a seamless team.
In 2016 the academy was ranked in the top 10 nationally for the progress of students at GCSE. But that’s just the beginning. Today we’re Outstanding; tomorrow, with your talents, we’ll be even more exceptional.
As the highest performing Family of Schools in the North of England, Outwood Grange Academies Trust is transforming the futures of countless young people. As a member of the Outwood Family of Schools, you will be joining a highly innovative, inspirational and ambitious organisation.
