Managing pupil data, attendance records and maintaining accurate school systems (e.g. SIMS/Arbor)

Ensuring compliance with school policies, safeguarding procedures and GDPR requirements
Coordinating communications, newsletters and general correspondence
Overseeing admissions administration and maintaining pupil records
Organising meetings, events and calendar management for the school
