We are looking to recruit an Exams and Assessment Officer to play a pivotal role in the administration, management and conducting of examinations at The Lowry Academy with both External and Internal examinations.
The Examination and Assessment Officer will work closely with the Assistant Principal in supporting teaching colleagues and students.

At The Lowry Academy we have high expectations and believe every single child can achieve. Our staff are highly professional, and we are relentlessly ensuring those high standards are maintained so teachers can teach, and students can learn. We prepare children for future success and ask students to live our values of Aspiration, Respect, Confidence, Creativity and Resilience. To maintain this strong culture, we have non-negotiable expectations:

• All the students arrive on time for their lessons. Students must arrive on time to be admitted to the lesson.
• All students are expected to have full equipment for every lesson.
• All students must think hard and work hard in lessons. Students are not allowed to opt out of their learning.
• The school has a straightforward approach to disruption to lessons. We follow a warning-remove policy where any student who disrupts learning, having been previously warned and given the opportunity to correct their behaviour, including opting out of work, is removed from the lesson.
• The Academy has zero tolerance for any act of defiance or disrespect towards staff or other students.

What can we offer?

• The opportunity to save money across hundreds of major retailers, through Perkbox.
• Employee Referral Scheme
• Bespoke career pathways for every member of staff
• Competitive salary
• 5 INSET days per year +3 additional planning days each term, dedicated to development and planning.
• The benefits of working in a successfully multi-academy trust and full access to ongoing CPD
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Confidential helpline support

We are not just about academic success; we work hard to ensure that we role model the right behaviours and provide opportunities for our pupils to develop the skills and understanding required to both be personally successful in the future workplace but also have a positive impact on the world.
Our aim is to prepare our students for adulthood and to be good citizens with high ambitions and the courage to exceed in their future. If you are passionate and share the same desire about changing the lives of students, we would like to hear from you.
We welcome visits to our academy so that you can experience the unique ethos of The Lowry Academy for yourself. If you would like to visit the academy, please contact Jannat Abutaeva (HR), on 0161 529 5177 or via email to
