Site Manager – Compton All Saints’ Church of England Primary School
Due to the retirement of our much-valued Site Manager after many years of dedicated service, Compton All Saints’ CE Primary School is seeking a new Site Manager to join our wonderful school community.
Compton All Saints is a small rural primary school near Winchester, where every child is known and valued and where our staff team feels more like a family.
