**The role**

The Communications Lead - Parent Engagement will lead all parent-focused communications, ensuring families feel informed, inspired, and connected at every stage of their journey with us. From newsletters and digital updates to events and onboarding for new parents, you will craft messages that reflect our school’s values and celebrate our pupils’ achievements.
