Mascalls Academy

The Lead Invigilator is defined as the Invigilator who is responsible for supervising the main examination venue and is in charge of the invigilation team and candidates within this venue. The Lead Invigilator should supervise examinations, working in accordance with all regulations, policies and procedures to maintain the integrity and security of the examination season ensuring that all candidates have equal opportunity. The successful candidate will ensure examinations are conducted in such a manner that there can be no suggestion of improper conduct, unfairness, advantage or disadvantage to any candidate.

Working at Mascalls Academy: Mascalls Academy is a secondary school at the heart of the community and our small school model ensures that each and every student gets the personal support and challenge they need to reach their full potential. The academy is divided into four colleges - Shackleton, Earhart, Luther King and Marie Curie Sixth Form College each having their own personality and range of specialisms, allowing them to be unique.

Mascalls Academy is a high achieving institution. Our most recent Ofsted inspection notes "ambitious leadership has established an ethos where staff are committed to driving standards up", that Mascalls is a "happy place to be" and that "staff feel valued". Our judgement that we are a 'Good' school with 'Outstanding' leadership and behaviour is accurate. It is our vision to become 'Outstanding' in every category.

Mascalls Academy is a dynamic and exciting place to work and the fantastic leadership team are committed to making it great for people at all stages in their careers. Our building and facilities are a mix of designs with two new buildings being modern, light and airy giving the academy a unique and special character.
