Thank you for expressing an interest in the post of Finance and Payroll Manager currently advertised at Churchdown.
We are always seeking to improve and refine our offer to the students and staff here. Each year we continue to make progress, and this is down to the skills and attitudes of our colleagues and their relentless focus on self-improvement. Our impressive Progress 8 score helps illustrate the impact of our combined efforts and the doors we have opened for our students. However, we are always looking forward and acknowledge as a school that it is about the students of now and the exceptional educational provision and care we put in place every lesson, every day.
Regardless of the position of responsibility we hold at Churchdown, all the staff are responsible for inspiring and encouraging those we work with; first and foremost, the students. Our goal is based not on focussing on what’s standing in our way; it is about taking steps that will be positive and that will have a lasting effect on everyone around us.

As a result, we provide a school that allows every student to achieve far beyond what they even dreamt was possible.
Our students deserve the best and proudly I can say as headteacher that we aspire to give the best for our students. I know this because in our school are people who will care for them; want the best for them; will not allow them to fail; will make them feel part of something by calling them by their name and asking if they are ok today; help them succeed; provide a place where they can do their best and allow them to see a life they didn’t know existed. I hope this is an insight which inspires you to apply for the post of Finance and Payroll Manager.
