Dear Prospective Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in applying for the position of Business Manager at Abersychan School.

I thought it might be useful to provide the following details to help you to decide whether to apply.
Since my appointment, the school has worked closely with the LA to successfully make significant savings with respect to the school budget and has undertaken a large restructure to staffing. The school secured funding to build, develop and refurbish many areas of the school premises. From a sports perspective, the new and renovated facilities include a 3G+ pitch, netball courts, changing rooms, sports hall and dance studio for school and community use. This role will be crucial in securing their success, to the benefit of colleagues, students and the community.
Abersychan School is an 11 - 16 co-educational comprehensive school which meets the needs of children of all abilities. We are a school that is committed to ensuring that all our young people are happy, successful and ready for their lives beyond school. Our expectations and standards are high. We have a highly committed and caring staff who are dedicated to ensuring each child achieves their personal best. The school currently has 740 students, 46 teachers and 56 members of support staff. The school serves an area of significant socio-economic deprivation with 30% of students entitled to FSM and 51% of students living in the 20% most deprived areas of Wales.

The aims of the school are delivered through a strong pastoral system, a commitment to providing high quality learning experiences and an extensive range of sporting, cultural, musical and extracurricular activities. The students are happy, hard-working and positive about the school. They genuinely are an asset to our community and are incredibly friendly. They want to receive a high-quality education and to become successful students. We have fantastic parents and governors, who are extremely supportive in supporting the school to provide the very best education.
If you are excited by the prospect of playing a significant role in helping us achieve our ambitions, have a belief that all students, no matter what their background or ability, can achieve and have a passion for providing an outstanding education, then, we would love to hear from you! In return, we will guarantee you the very best level of support. The Business Team at Abersychan School is relatively new and if you have a passion to secure improvements, then please get in touch!
