Our Team

Mrs. Sarah Wilson -  Business Manager    

 I am responsible for leading and managing the school office, finance administration and premises staff.          

My duties are broken down into the following areas:-

Administration Management. Our aim is to keep you informed and up to date on everything that is happening in school.  We have invested in new systems to ensure that all our parents and carers can access this information via our chosen communication methods (ParentMail) our school website and school notice boards.

Financial Management. I work with the Senior Leadership team and the governing board to plan our school budget to ensure that we can maintain our current levels of staffing whilst ensuring we are still able to afford the necessary curriculum resources to support your child’s education. 

Management Information Systems & ICT.  I work closely with our IT technicians and ICT coordinator to introduce new technology or by making improvement to existing technology to ensure that we keep our school systems up to date.

Human Resource Management. I ensure that all staff are recruited in accordance to current safeguarding legislation.

Facility & Property .I work with the premises team to ensure that our grounds and premises are maintained to a high standard.

Health & Safety I ensure that our school is a safe place for everyone. The premises team carry out daily checks to ensure that our buildings and grounds are a safe learning environment
