Summary

We are looking to hire casual Exam Invigilators for various exam periods to help to supervise the conduct of students in examinations at Harris Academy Beulah Hill.

About Us
Harris academy Beulah Hill campus is an extremely popular 11-19 academy. We deliver a broad and challenging curriculum to all our students in a calm and well-ordered environment. We have high expectations of all members of the school community.

This is reflected in our consistently high student performance at GCSE, progression to post 16 study at our sixth form and then on to some of the best universities in the country.

Beulah Hill is a wonderful place to learn and teach.

We have a very hardworking team of teachers and support staff; they provide a caring and welcoming atmosphere for our students.

The site is a huge site with close to 8 acres of school buildings, sports halls, gymnasium, tennis courts and large playing fields / athletic track thus providing excellent facilities for our students.

Beulah Hill also has full-time basketball and football coaches through its partnership with Greenhouse and Kinetic.

We have recently invested over £1 million to further improve our outstanding facilities including the development of a state-of-the-art Design Technology room equipped with laser cuter and 3D Printers, Food room and a newly laid sports field to ensure all year-round sporting opportunities.

The Academy has a limit of 800 places across Year 7-11.
