The Role
We are recruiting a number of exam invigilators to join our team, overseeing examinations at various points throughout the year. It is a really important role and we are looking for reliable, confident and meticulous people to join our team in order to support our students through one of the most stressful and important events in their lives. It is a part time role, but one that can make a real difference.
This role will allow you to work flexibly on a casual basis supporting St Mary Redcliffe and Temple School to ensure all exams are conducted in accordance with exam guidelines. There will no fixed or regular hours of work, but you will be given substantial notice of when you are required. However, the bulk of the work will be in May and June.
Morning exam sessions usually start at 8am (for an exam start of 9am) and afternoon sessions at 12.30pm (for an exam start at 1.30pm). The length of exam papers varies and sessions can last between 1-4 hours.
All successful applicants will receive full training. All invigilators must complete statutory online safeguarding training and an online invigilation training module which takes approximately 2 hours before their first invigilation.
We also need people who are willing to be trained as one to one readers and/or scribes for our access arrangement students.
Pay: £10.90 per hour plus holiday pay calculated at 12.07% of your pay.
The School
St Mary Redcliffe and Temple is a successful and heavily oversubscribed 11-18 co-educational, Church of England, comprehensive school of over 1700 students, serving families from the whole of greater Bristol and beyond. We are located at the heart of the city and have a diverse student community with considerable parental support. 53% of students in the main school are from black and minority ethnic backgrounds and 19% of students have been recorded as being entitled to Pupil Premium funding. We educate relatively high numbers of Children in Care. Our diversity is a strength and something we celebrate. The Redcliffe Sixth Form Centre currently houses approximately 700 students taken from our own school and from many other schools across the City.
Over the last four years more than 80% of our students have achieved five or more GCSEs at grade 4 or above and over 40% of students have achieved three or more GCSEs at grade 7 or above. We are in the top 20% of schools nationally for outcomes in English and Maths at GCSE and over the last three years prior to the pandemic our Attainment 8 score for all GCSE subjects is 55, putting us in the top 12% of schools nationally, while our Progress 8 score of 0.29 (3-year average) is consistently significantly above the national average.

Mr Planter took up the Headship in September 2022 following successful headship and executive headteacher experiences in three schools. For him, the post of Headteacher remains an incredibly rewarding one. As we emerge from the greatest social and educational disruption in our lifetime there is a clear mandate and appetite to consider our practice collectively to ensure we provide the highest quality education for all our students.
SMRT is a successful and heavily oversubscribed 11-18 co-educational, Church of England, comprehensive school of over 1750 students, serving families from the whole of greater Bristol and beyond. We are located at the heart of the city and have a diverse student community with considerable parental support. Our diversity is a strength and something we celebrate. The Redcliffe Sixth Form Centre currently houses approximately 700 students from our own school and from many other schools across the City.
Our Christian ethos is at the centre of our distinctiveness and success. We believe that daily worship helps us get our priorities right. The School has a clearly identified set of values that are reflected in our pastoral and curriculum practice. The School is committed to developing students as whole people and lifelong learners. To facilitate this SMRT has developed the Alive model, which seeks to develop competencies, values, and skills in our students to support their development as ‘fully alive’ learners. The role of the tutor is key, and teachers are expected to be tutors.
At SMRT we believe that each member of our School community is created by God and our aim is to achieve our full potential (being fully alive). All we do is rooted in this hope of who we are as people and who we can become. We are particularly inspired by Jesus’ statement ‘I have come that you might have life and life in all its fullness’ (John 10 v10) and Irenaeus’ ‘the glory of God is a human being fully alive’. This is an exciting time to join SMRT as we work with renewed focus and energy to fulfil our core purpose enabling our students “to develop the skills, knowledge and Alive qualities so that all our students can make their unique contribution to the world.”
We are passionate about providing opportunity for all staff to develop. Staff are encouraged to develop leadership roles, including working with, and helping to improve, other local schools. All leaders contribute extremely well to improving teaching and learning. SMRT invests heavily and productively in ensuring that staff and leaders have every opportunity to develop their expertise for the benefit of students. Professional development for staff is extremely well planned and implemented; it is linked closely to teachers’ targets for improvement.
SMRT was judged in April 2015 to be outstanding by Ofsted in each and every category. We were also judged outstanding in our last church school (SIAMS) inspection in March 2017. Despite this there is absolutely no sense of complacency. We are a forward-looking school with a relentless focus on providing the absolute best provision so that no child is left behind.
Ofsted remarked that “Church school status makes an important and distinctive contribution to the school’s exceptionally positive values and beliefs. Leaders and the highly effective governing body ensure that students’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development are given the highest possible priority.” “The promotion of students’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural education is extremely impressive and contributes enormously to the welcoming ethos of the school. Equality of opportunity is vigorously promoted; discrimination in any form is not tolerated. Students are highly reflective about matters of faith and personal responsibility; their social awareness is remarkably perceptive.”
SMRT was fortunate to be part of ‘Building Schools for the Future’ Wave 4 and we moved into a significant new block in early November 2010. This houses Music, Computer Science, Design Technology, Science, Art, English, Maths, Learning Resource Centre, PE, and staff facilities. In addition we have a sports hall, as well as a gym and a swimming pool. Humanities and Languages are housed in a refurbished 1980s building which is also the base for Year 7 students. We also have a large Sixth Form block.
