JOB PROFILE

EXAMS ASSISTANT

WELCOME

Thank you for the interest you have shown
in joining Luckley House School as Exams
Assistant.

Luckley House is a warm and welcoming
boarding and day school. We are a
community, small enough at 370 pupils for
everyone to be seen, valued and counted but
large enough to provide a wide variety of
academic, sport and creative opportunities.

Our uniqueness lies in the combination
of our size, Christian ethos and flexibility
to meet the needs of individual pupils
and their families. We provide a distinctly
academic education that is tailored to the
individual needs of each pupil. This is offered
in the context of a broad curriculum which
celebrates the arts and sports as much as
academic achievement.

We are looking for an organised and reliable
Exams Assistant to support the smooth running
of internal and external examinations. Working
closely with the Exams Officer, you will help
ensure exams are delivered calmly, securely, and
in line with JCQ regulations.

The ideal candidate will have excellent
attention to detail, strong organisational
and communication skills, and the ability to
remain calm during busy exam periods. Some
flexibility is required during peak exam seasons,
when early starts or additional hours may be
necessary.

I am delighted that you are considering applying
for this role and hope that you feel inspired to
submit an application.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Mrs Claire Gilding-Brant
Head

ABOUT LUCKLEY
HOUSE

Luckley House is a co-educational,
independent day and boarding school for
pupils aged from 11 to 18 years. Situated
on the southern outskirts of Wokingham,
Berkshire, Luckley House is set in 20 acres
of landscaped lawns and majestic woodland.
The School has a Christian ethos with a
mission and values which flow from this.

Luckley House offers a highly personalized
academic experience, tailoring its education
to the individual needs of each pupil.

The academic results at both GCSE and A
Level consistently exceed national averages,
and the majority of students secure places at
their first-choice universities.

The mission of the School is to provide an
outstanding education for boys and girls
characterised by academic excellence, a rich and
diverse range of opportunities, aspiration and
enthusiasm for life and generosity of spirit. The
School has strong traditions in music, drama,
art, debating, community outreach and sport,
and there are many cocurricular activities open
to pupils to help them develop their talents to
reach the highest possible standards.

Luckley House was formed in 1959 through
the merger of two girls’ schools: Luckley
School, founded in 1918 on the current site,
and Oakfield House, established in the Lake
District in 1895.  The School adopted the name
Luckley House School in 2013, and in 2015
began admitting boys for the first time. Over
the past decade, student numbers have grown
by over 75%, with boys now comprising half of
the student body. Currently, the School is at its
full capacity of 370 students and has been given
for approval to expand to 420.

The School is committed to inclusivity,
welcoming pupils from all faiths and
backgrounds, which enriches the community
and prepares students for the diversity of the
modern world. Most students live within a
15-mile radius of the School, with many joining
in Years 7, 9, and the Sixth Form from both
independent and maintained schools. There
are 40 boarding places available, with between
35 and 40 students boarding on weeknights,
approximately half of whom are from abroad or
are weekly boarders.
