- Provide comprehensive administrative support to teaching staff and senior leadership, including photocopying, filing, data entry, and preparing documents and reports using Microsoft Office Suite.
- Assist with student attendance monitoring, following up on absences, and maintaining accurate and confidential student records in line with school policies and GDPR.
- Coordinate day-to-day office logistics, such as managing stationery supplies, processing incoming and outgoing post, and supporting the organisation of school events and parent evenings.

- Proven experience in a busy administrative or receptionist role, ideally within a school, college, or similar educational environment in London.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact calmly and professionally with people of all ages and backgrounds.
- Strong organisational skills, high attention to detail, and the ability to prioritise a varied workload in a fast-paced setting.
- Proficiency in standard office software (MS Word, Excel, Outlook) and a willingness to learn school-specific management information systems.
