Exam Invigilator and Scribe

PolyMAT is a small but ambitious Multi-Academy Trust with a unique family feel. Our vision is Success for Everyone, and we are seeking a dedicated Exams Invigilator and Scribe to help deliver this vision across our schools.

We currently comprise three schools:

• Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys - a long-established and successful boys’ secondary school
• Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls - opened in 2019 and has quickly become a beacon of success and progress
• Bannockburn Primary School - a large, successful primary school that joined the Trust in November 2023

We also have a thriving co-educational Sixth Form provision.

At PolyMAT, we pride ourselves on a culture of high standards, underpinned by our core values of Care and Unity. We offer a rewarding environment where students and staff feel valued, supported, and part of a close-knit community. Our schools and departments work collaboratively to ensure the best outcomes for all.
