Dudley Academies Trust,
The Link Academy are seeking an exceptional Exams Officer to lead the planning, administration, and delivery of all internal and external examinations across the academy. This is a pivotal role, ensuring examinations are conducted efficiently, fairly, and in full compliance with awarding body regulations.
As the school's examination specialist, you will work closely with senior leaders, teaching staff, learners, parents, and external examination boards to provide a professional and seamless examination experience from initial candidate entry through to results day and post-results services.
The Link Academy was praised by Ofsted in May 2026 as an “ambitious and inclusive school” where “pupils flourish.” Inspectors highlighted the academy’s calm, respectful, and supportive environment, noting that pupils feel safe, demonstrate excellent attitudes to learning, and benefit from strong pastoral care. The school achieved Strong judgements in attendance and behaviour, inclusion, leadership and governance, and personal development and wellbeing, with achievement, curriculum, and teaching meeting the Expected standard. Achieving four Strong judgements under Ofsted’s new inspection framework is a significant accomplishment and places the academy among a small number of schools in the region to achieve such recognition.
