Exeter Maths School is an Ofsted Outstanding, state funded, 6th form, jointly sponsored by the University of Exeter and Exeter College. Opened in September 2014, the school is open to students from across Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset. We also work extensively with students and teachers in other schools, inspiring enthusiasts for maths, physics and computing across the region.

We are seeking to appoint new Clerk to Governors to administer, support and advise the board of governors for our Single Academy Trust.

Governance is strong at EMS, with exceptionally professional and capable governors working within a well-established structure of meetings, school visits and policy reviews. Senior Leaders are proactive in working with governors and the clerk to ensure that accurate and timely information is shared in a spirit of full transparency. The School invests in external support, training and reviews to ensure that best practice is developed and maintained.

The new post holder need not necessarily have significant experience in this area (although experience is always welcome and valued) but should be an exceptional administrator, able to work well with school leaders and governors and with the capacity and commitment to training and development.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high-functioning team and be at the heart of the school’s development. The current post holder (soon to retire) reports that being an integral part of the school team and the commitment from senior leaders to governance are benefits of clerking that are unique to EMS. Other benefits include flexible working hours outside of meetings, the opportunity to join the local government pension scheme and if interested to combine with role with occasional additional roles such as exam invigilation or representing the school at careers fairs.

Interviews will take place on Wednesday 15th May 2024.
