Job overview
This is an exciting new role that will span all aspects of the school's commercial life. It is an exciting opportunity for someone who shares the ethos of the school, who wants to add real value, and who wants to be more than just a 'bean counter'.
This is a role that will suit a management accountant who is looking for something beyond the usual monthly routine and for a role that extends beyond pure finance. The Assistant Bursar will use their financial expertise to provide thoughtful and insightful analysis across the School; but more broadly they will assist the Bursar in all elements of his role and will therefore be involved in all aspects of the commercial life of the School. The role will span the strategic and the day-to-day operational.
In terms of management accountancy, the Assistant Bursar will take responsibility for providing analysis of the School’s financial and operating position. As well as preparing the budget and monthly management accounts, they will ensure that the Bursar and the senior leadership team have access to meaningful, accurate and timely data on financial performance, key performance indicators, and other operating data. As this is a new role within the School, one of the first jobs for the Assistant Bursar will be to develop this suite of reports.
Beyond that, the Assistant Bursar will be involved in supporting ad hoc projects; dealing with parental and staff queries; overseeing Data Protection; line managing the School’s administration function; owning the bursary programme; liaising with suppliers and contractors; and supporting Governance. They will also work closely with other members of the Bursar’s leadership team.

The Schools are part of the great heritage of Stamford and a symbol of its vibrancy and evolution. The Schools have been established in Stamford since 1532, providing a first class education for children. Today the Schools remain interwoven with Stamford life, to which our students, teachers and parents contribute greatly. At Stamford we have one simple and overriding aim, that is to inspire our students and light fires within them.
The schools educate 1650 pupils at the Stamford Junior School for children aged 2-11, Stamford School for students aged 11-16, and Stamford Sixth Form for students aged 16-18.
This is a really exciting time to be joining the School as after nearly 500 years as a boys’ school and 200 years as a girls’ school, we have joined together as a fully co-educational school. This restructure is giving us the opportunity to look at all aspects of school life with fresh eyes, and we are looking at everything from how we provide the best possible pastoral care to how we shape the timetable, how we make best use of our estate, to how AI can support classroom learning. It is a big change, but a once in a generation opportunity to really set up the School for the next hundred years.
After this positive change, stamfordians will still be able to leave here poised for success in the real world - quietly confident, kind, positive, hardworking, unassuming and resilient. We are independent schools nurturing independent minds.
"I love the idea of preparing our kids from the school room to the boardroom in the 21st century, wherever that boardroom is in a rainforest in Brazil or as a CEO or working with a charity in India. Just as we have a big responsibility, so will they. I want them not just to be content to live in the world but to change it. Exciting!”
Principal, Will Phelan
