School Business Manager

Raglan is a Federation of Raglan Infant School (including Nursery) and Raglan Junior School with 930 pupils across the schools. Both schools are “Good” led by a single Headteacher, Leadership Team and Governing Body. 

Following the promotion of the current postholder, we are seeking a dynamic and effective School Business Manager to join the School Leadership Team.

They will advise on and implement the day-to-day support that enables the school to operate effectively and efficiently, and that allows other members of the leadership team to focus on teaching and learning.

Being a federation we have separate funding for each school, but we only operate with one budget. The school is oversubscribed and is currently full, so our pupil numbers and funding remain stable.

• A supportive school leadership team
