The Schools of King Edward VI in Birmingham
Birmingham, UK
The mission of the King Edward VI Foundation (the “Foundation”) is to make Birmingham the best place to be educated in the UK. A progressive, influential educational charity, King Edward VI Foundation’s reputation is underpinned by a long and distinguished history. King Edward’s School was established in 1552 by King Edward VI, part of the early growth of secular education in England. In the late 19th century, our five grammar schools and King Edward VI High School for Girls were an early step in extending secondary education for girls and boys.
The 21st century has brought the formation of the King Edward VI Academy Trust, a means of expanding from our original five grammar schools to a current family of eleven academies and two independent schools. Six of the academies are selective; five are comprehensive, some serving Birmingham’s most deprived communities. To serve the city’s children, we recognise that we need to provide a diverse range of schools: independent as well as Academies, selective and also comprehensive. And we believe that those schools need to be accessible to all, regardless of ethnic, religious and social background.
The further development of digital practices and use of technology is integral to the above, and the purpose of this role is to nurture and support this development via the organisation’s Single Central Enterprise Platform (SCEP), among other priorities. The SCEP, running on Microsoft 365, provides a solution to the organisation for collaboration and communication.
We are looking to appoint a well-qualified, experienced and highly motivated individual to join the central Digital and Technology team and fulfil this critical position to manage the organisation’s Single Central Enterprise Platform (SCEP), running on Microsoft 365.
Our schools have achieved great things by managing their individual digital initiatives, particularly during the pandemic.

Experience of working in an educational environment is desirable. The person appointed must be committed to promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the students at the school.
As a central support service, our working model must be driven by the needs of our schools. Therefore, please be aware that staff are required to take the majority of annual leave during non-term time.
We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

The backup of M365 is automated using an external solution, however the post holder will be responsible for monitoring this service to assure compliance and disaster recovery readiness in the event of a critical incident.
Create policy documents for consumption across the organisation.
Ensure that the M365 SCEP meets and maintains compliance with the DfE’s Digital and Technology standards for schools and colleges.
Work closely and collaboratively with our schools, in particular the school-based technical leads to ensure the M365 SCEP meets operational needs.
Provide additional capacity to the Digital and Technology team with migrating schools to the M365 SCEP on an ad-hoc basis to

The mission of the King Edward VI Foundation (the “Foundation”) is to make Birmingham the best place to be educated in the UK. A progressive, influential educational charity, King Edward VI Foundation’s reputation is underpinned by a long and distinguished history. King Edward’s School was established in 1552 by King Edward VI, part of the early growth of secular education in England. In the late 19th century, our five grammar schools and King Edward VI High School for Girls were an early step in extending secondary education for girls and boys.
The 21st century has brought the formation of the King Edward VI Academy Trust, a means of expanding from our original five grammar schools to a current family of eleven academies and two independent schools. Six of the academies are selective; five are comprehensive, some serving Birmingham’s most deprived communities. To serve the city’s children, we recognise that we need to provide a diverse range of schools: independent as well as Academies, selective and also comprehensive. And we believe that those schools need to be accessible to all, regardless of ethnic, religious and social background.
The further development of digital practices and use of technology is integral to the above, and the purpose of this role is to nurture and support this development via the organisation’s Single Central Enterprise Platform (SCEP), among other priorities. The SCEP, running on Microsoft 365, provides a solution to the organisation for collaboration and communication.
We are looking to appoint a well-qualified, experienced and highly motivated individual to join the central Digital and Technology team and fulfil this critical position to manage the organisation’s Single Central Enterprise Platform (SCEP), running on Microsoft 365.

As a central support service, our working model must be driven by the needs of our schools. Therefore, please be aware that staff are required to take the majority of annual leave during non-term time.
