We are seeking to appoint a dedicated, creative, and solutions-focused individual to lead this critical area of the school.

The successful candidate will play a key role leading the IT team in providing outstanding customer service in the support of students, staff and visitors, using a variety of essential and innovative ICT methods. An ability to think strategically and implement change is vital as you will assist with the strategic development and management of ICT across the school.
