Portslade Aldridge Community Academy (PACA) is searching for an exams officer to join our team and support our students to achieve a great start in life. The position has come up as our existing exams officer is retiring. We are seeking someone who either has experience of exams work or who is willing to train to learn the role, and someone who is excited by the idea of contributing to the overall success of PACA as the Academy grows and develops.
PACA is a successful, forward thinking Academy. We are growing fast with an increase of a hundred students on previous years in 2020 and we are expecting the same in 2021. We are an 11-16 state funded Academy and we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people/vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
PACA is part of the Aldridge Education Multi-Academy Trust. The successful candidate will develop their work in collaboration with colleagues from across the family of schools. This is an exciting time for Aldridge Education, with schools in the trust sharing practice on exams and the use of student achievement data to improve the quality of students’ learning, and as such the successful candidate will be part of the trust-wide exams officer network.
Please complete an application form, which can be downloaded from our website, https://www.paca.uk.com/work-at-paca/ and send with a supporting letter outlining how your previous experience would enable you to fulfil this role to Sheila Cahill, Executive Assistant at s.cahill@paca.uk.com.

About Portslade Aldridge Community Academy
Welcome to Portslade Aldridge Community Academy (PACA), a thriving 11-16 school rated Good by Ofsted (2016). Our results have been consistently improving for over three years and our Progress 8 score (0.3) is now the second highest in the city. Recognised as Brighton’s Most Improved School in the local media in 2017, our KS3 student intake grew over 80% year on year in 2017, and is set for further significant growth in 2018.
PACA has developed a strong learning culture of “Expert Learner” with students actively engaged in their own progress. High standards are maintained throughout the school with strong outcomes, particularly in the fundamentals of English and maths. We also have excellent outcomes in art and a focus on STEM. The current post-16 offer, a mixture of academic and vocational, is a key development priority through partnership work with local employers, leading organisations and our sister school in the city. Our digital media academy, an exciting collaboration between the two schools and over 40 local companies, is a great example of how these partnerships can deliver for our students.
In common with all Aldridge schools we also have a strong focus on developing the enterprise skills, attributes and confidence that help our students navigate through higher education and the many employment opportunities that will be available to them in the future.
PACA is so much more than a school. We work closely with, and offer our facilities to, the wider community as well as partnering with local primary schools and employers. Those facilities, which have benefitted from an £13m investment since we became an academy, include a STEM centre, Mac suite, specialist dance and art studios, and a community library. Our positive contribution to the community in which we live and work was recognised in winning the Brighton Community School of 2016 Award and the Most Improved School in Brighton & Hove Award 2017.
Aldridge Education
PACA is a member of the Aldridge Education multi-academy trust. We work in different regions across England where the opportunities and prospects for young people are often most limited, and where the introduction of our entrepreneurial approach to education can have most benefit.
We are a values-driven organisation with a commitment to non-selective, inclusive schools, providing children and young people with an exceptional educational experience. Our goal is that, by the age of 25, all Aldridge graduates will have experienced an outstanding and enjoyable education and be able to sustain the life of their choice.
