Data and Exams Manager

About the School - OU.LOCATION:
British School of Valencia (BSV) is a private British school for students aged 2 to 18 years old located in the city centre of Valencia.

BSV strives to offer a distinct educational model providing an excellent British education both at an academic and human level basing its curriculum on the core values of responsibility, curiosity, respect, and motivation. The school tries to adapt to the students’ needs to meet the shifting requirements of an ever-changing world by offering the British Curriculum; a varied, practical, and inclusive system which encourages the students to become the leaders of their learning.

BSV’s mission is to build success through a balance of academics, relationships, and character development. Their vision is focused on students valuing their education, to actively explore and investigate in order to achieve the goals they set for themselves. It seeks to empower them with the necessary skills and tools for them to acquire new knowledge that will help them improve their understanding of the world.

BSV's growth makes the need for timely, accurate and purposeful data more critical than ever. Leaders must be able to identify trends, spot patterns and act quickly — and that requires a strong MIS foundation and clear data distribution. Equally, managing a compliant and well-coordinated examination programme across two sites is a complex logistical challenge. The school now has an exciting opportunity for a dedicated Data and Exams Manager to join our fantastic team to address both priorities, enabling strategic decision-making and operational efficiency across the school.
