Assistant Headteacher Post: Principal Lead for Key Stage 3

Oak Wood Secondary School

Are you an outstanding leader, innovator and practitioner who has had a demonstrable impact on learning?



We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic and motivated Assistant Headteacher from September 2024. The successful candidate will work closely with the Senior Leadership Team to support moving the school forward; demonstrating a high sense of commitment, a clear vision and inspirational leadership to ensure the very best outcomes for every young person.

The above position offers an exciting, challenging and rewarding opportunity to be part of Central England Academy Trust. Our Secondary School is part of a thriving three school Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). Oak Wood Secondary School shares the same site with our sister school Oak Wood Primary School. Both schools are oversubscribed generic special schools, meeting the educational needs of young people; they are independent of each other but work very closely towards ensuring that resources are fully utilised for maximum impact. In addition, Oak Wood Secondary School manages the educational provision at Jade Unit for young people with significant SEMH needs at Brooklands NHS Hospital in Solihull. Also, part of the Trust is Higham Lane School which is a high-performing 11-18 Comprehensive School also located in Nuneaton. There is great scope for collaborative work across the MAT.

If you would like to informally discuss this role please make an appointment through Amy Pearson:

The candidates who are shortlisted will be interviewed on Monday 13th May 2024 and will be expected to provide a 5-10 minutes conversational presentation outlining their vision as an aspirational leader. There is no expectation on how you present your conversation. The title of the conversational presentation is: 'An inspirational leader ensures that the curriculum is relevant, meaningful and aspirational for all pupils. The curriculum gives all pupils the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.'
