There is a real sense of community here as, being a boarding school many members of staff and pupils live on site and the School's premises are very much treated as a home away from home. School life starts before breakfast and continues way beyond the working day; as a result, there is always a lively atmosphere in and around School and always someone to share a tea and biscuit with in the Common Room. Support staff as much as teaching staff are encouraged to embrace the School's day-to-day activities, whether that be attending an evening concert or a morning service in the Abbey. At Westminster we will always select the best candidate for every position. We do know, however, that we can only truly choose the best person on every occasion if a broad and diverse pool of candidates see the job advertised and are encouraged to apply. As such, we continue to work on how our job roles are encountered, and particularly welcome applications from groups who have traditionally been underrepresented here. Westminster School is for everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or any other protected characteristic. We hope you are encouraged to apply. The School Westminster School is an independent day and boarding school for boys aged 13-18 and girls aged 16-18, with a long history, a distinctive ethos, and a unique sense of place in the very heart of London. Pupils achieve exceptional examination results and entrance to some of the top universities in the world. It is a busy, passionate and purposeful place where independent and deep thinking is enjoyed, encouraged and respected by all, and where holistic excellence is nurtured and valued. While the School is one of the foremost centres of academic excellence in the country, its commitment to academic life does not make it a hothouse for passing examinations. Pupils' success at examinations and entry to leading universities is instead a result of their enjoyment of academic enquiry, debate and search for explanation, well beyond published syllabuses. Pupils are intellectually, socially, ethically and politically engaged and our aim is to ensure that their enthusiasm for learning is developed further, allowing them to take full advantage of the opportunities presented to them in the future. At Westminster, pupils have the freedom to lead on projects outside of the classroom and embrace a whole range of extra curricular activities and interests. A host of pupil led societies take place every week at the School, often with expert guest speakers, and pupils can choose to study an additional language, play an instrument or two, volunteer in local primary schools, row along the Thames, take part in plays and musical, and much more. The School's ethos resides in the enduring values of the liberal tradition reflected in the 1560 Charter of Westminster's Elizabethan foundation, where it is stated that: 'the youth which is growing to manhood, as tender shoots in the wood of our state, shall be liberally instructed in good books to the greater honour of the state'. Whilst academic and cultural attainments are highly prized at Westminster, the School is fully committed also to each pupil's spiritual, moral, emotional and physical development and wellbeing - with a particular emphasis on drawing out individual talent wherever it lies - and to prepare young people for fulfilled private and public lives. From September 2028, the School will welcome both girls and boys at 13+ entry, offering a Westminster education to all. By 2026, Westminster Under School will have opened its brand new pre-prep for girls and boys at 4+ and girls will have joined boys in Years 3 and 7, at the 7+ and 11+ entry points. By 2030, all year groups at Westminster School and Westminster Under School, from ages four to 18, will be fully co educational, reflecting the School's dedication to inclusivity and excellence.

Data Maintenance Ensures the school management information systems are kept up to date with pupil information, e.g. change of circumstances, medical information, (Dashboards, Mathletics, SpellZone). Entries must be accurate and timely. Testing At key tracking points across the year (termly) work closely with Deputy Head (LP) to organise the testing programme. Agree dates of testing, share on central calendar with staff, decide whether enough test papers are in stock, maintain stock control, order papers where needed, consider supplier lead times, prepopulate external sites with data of children, dob, gender, names, class. Without this info the child cannot take an online test and for paper tests, the results could not be recorded by the testing company to the right child. Once results are available generate a csv file and import into a markbook. Create markbook tasks. Each test has a name, therefore getting the naming convention accurate is essential, as this is pulled off onto the dashboard. Allocate teacher, children being reported, additional markers. Assist teachers with entering scores/grades, as required and provide technical support/guidance. Report Production Ad hoc, creation of reports from the management information systems, e.g. running pre-designed ODBC reports, creating new (if basic) or seeking help from Senior School Deputy as required. Present data in various formats e.g. excel, graphs, pivot tables to Management/Staff/Annual Report. Typical reports include individual/ cohort performance, performance by subject. Interim and End of Session Reports for parents Twice a year, using Google sheets creates blank templates for teaching staff to complete with comments on the pupils and grades for attainment/approach etc. Create a reference page to accompany the template, which involves populating with data about the pupil. Once a teacher has completed the template, the job holder reformats through a merge process to create a pre-designed PDF document for sharing with parents by the Communications Team. Any changes that are requested by parents are made to the final report. Once finalised, individually assign a pupil record.
