This is a term time only role beginning at 20 hours per week but with the potential to increase.

The role includes managing and organising all aspects of the admissions process – initially for our Y7 intake and from next year this will additionally include the Sixth Form. From capturing and recording student data, organising our Sporting Aptitude Assessments and liaising with Croydon on allocation of places, the role naturally embraces social media and website management to ensure strong and informative messaging throughout the year.

The Sixth Form will open in September 2020 by which time it is intended the permanent building will be fully operational, based in its extensive 25 acre site. This role will be refined and more specialised as the school becomes an 8-form entry school (NOR 1680) including 480 in the Sixth Form.

Teamwork 

Our ethos derives from the theoretical and practical nature of sport with TEAMWORK, RESPECT, ENJOYMENT, DISCIPLINE and SPORTSMANSHIP as its core values. All staff are expected to demonstrate and support these in their everyday work. Coombe Wood School teaching and non-teaching staff will work closely together across many different areas of the school to ensure the best possible learning experiences for our students.

Coombe Wood School is part of Folio Education Trust: http://www.folio-education.co.uk/. This is a local collaboration of schools, with future possibilities of shared training or working at more than one school, so by becoming part of the team at Coombe Wood School, your career will experience wider benefits.

Initially housed in temporary accommodation, the proposed site for the ‘new build’ school is opposite Lloyd Park in South Croydon, with an excellent Tramlink service to and from East Croydon station (just 5 minutes journey-time away) and a short walk from several bus routes. Over £35 million is to be invested in building a state-of-the-art school which will include enhanced sports facilities, comprising a competition-sized sports hall, a full-size 3G artificial floodlit surface and aspirations to include a closed circuit cycle track (CRC) and 8-lane floodlit athletics track.
