The successful candidate will have strong interpersonal skills, as they will work closely with teachers and other school staff; parents and external partners. The role will be busy and varied, and the Finance Assistant will benefit from working in a small, supportive finance team within a school that has been recognised as a ‘Great Place to Work’. Langley School has recently received this certification based on the feedback and experiences of our staff and believe it is key to us keeping and attracting the most talented staff. We were visited by Ofsted in March 2023 and were graded Good. We are very proud of our inclusive, welcoming school where pupils behave and learn in a calm and purposeful environment. Our school’s fundamental principles focus on supporting, challenging and inspiring the whole Langley community ‘to be the best that we can be’. But these are not simply words on paper. Students, staff and governors genuinely give all they can, to bring those principles to life every day. Examinations are critically important, of course, and our students achieve superbly well in them, but we truly believe in developing young people to deal with the tests of their lifetime, not merely to endure a lifetime of tests. Everyone who visits us comments on the unique ethos of our school as well as our commitment to inclusivity.
