Sherwood Park School is a special school with two very different campuses in Carshalton and Wallington. We are also in the process of opening a third campus for the new academic year (September 2025). Our amazing pupils have a range of learning and support needs, including learning disabilities (profound or severe learning), physical disabilities, medical vulnerabilities and many of whom have learning and support needs related to their specific neuro-type, with one of our campuses designed specifically for autistic pupils.
The school has undergone significant growth and change in the past five years and we are looking for a highly skilled School Business Manager who has successful experience of working in a school and reviewing, building and developing high performing teams to deliver stability, inspirational business leadership to a team of highly dedicated staff and to sustain the excellent relationship we have with our Local Authority.
This is a broad ranging role with high levels of autonomy and accountability - working closely with the Executive Headteacher as part of the executive team. Our school requires a highly committed and competent individual who knows how to take forward a school business and operations team across three campuses (1 just starting and 2 the same size as a standalone special school). This is a challenging role and one for someone who wants to make their mark in a growing, successful special school.
Whilst the role is a challenging one, you will be joining a highly supportive executive and senior leadership team who are committed to your support and success
Visits to the school are strongly encouraged and can be organised by contacting the school.
