Financial Controller

The Croft Preparatory School is an independent co-educational day school for children from 3 to 11 years old, situated in a beautiful 30-acre site, in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, on the outskirts of Stratford upon Avon.

The school has benefited from a considerable amount of capital refurbishment over the last decade, with Mundell Court, a purpose built teaching space to house the IT suite as well as dedicated classrooms for Design Technology, PSHE and Mathematics, opening in 2009 and a 600 seat Theatre and fully equipped Sports Hall opening in March 2012. 

The 30-acre site provides an extensive sports field and multiple outdoor learning areas with Forest School sessions incorporated into the curriculum for all Early Years and some Pre-Prep pupils. Class sizes are traditionally limited to 20 pupils.

The whole school was inspected by ISI in June 2015, and was awarded Outstanding in all areas. In June 2018 we successfully met all eight standards of the regulatory compliance inspection, with no further action required.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

This is an exciting permanent full time opportunity to assist the Business Manager in the operational aspects of both school and business finances. 

The Financial Controller will report to the Business Manager and will work closely with the Accounts Manager on a daily basis.   The role will include fees, budgets, preparation of forecasts for future financial performance, financial reports, capital expenditure, insurance and leases.  However for full details of the role see the attached job information.  

We are developing a Growth Mindset ethos for all. Therefore we expect all staff to have the enthusiasm and ability to inspire, motivate, develop and innovate, together with the desire to make a difference.
