Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Previous experience within a secondary school, sixth form, academy or Multi-Academy Trust would be highly desirable.
Experience using systems such as SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom, SISRA Analytics, 4Matrix or similar education platforms would also be advantageous.
Most importantly, you'll be meticulous, organised and calm under pressure.
When hundreds of pupils are sitting examinations, deadlines are immovable and results need to be accurate, the school needs someone who simply gets it right.
Why Consider This School?
This is not an Exams Officer position where you'll disappear into an office and only be noticed during GCSE season.
The Headteacher and SLT recognise the importance of high-quality data, assessment and examination management and want someone who can become a trusted part of the wider school operation.
You'll be given responsibility, autonomy and the opportunity to improve existing processes rather than simply inherit them.
Could This Be Your Next Move?
You may not actively be looking.
You might already be happy in your current school.
But if you're an experienced Data or Exams professional wondering whether there is a role offering more responsibility, recognition and progression, this is worth exploring.
Send your CV to Ryan at KPI Education for a confidential conversation about the school, salary and opportunity.
Applications are welcomed from candidates available for October 2026 or January 2027.
Because when the data matters and the deadline can't move, schools need exceptional people behind the scenes.
