The positive impact you can have on a young person's life is likely to be the reason you became an educator. At Slated Row School, that impact will be greater than you could have imagined. If you share the ethos of ‘Hope, Dignity and Respect’ to create the best possible outcomes for our students, then we are the school for you.

Slated Row School is an all age (Reception to Year 14) special school for students with complex learning difficulties, across 2 sites in Milton Keynes. The successful applicant will work across both the Wolverton and Kents Hill campus. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a hardworking, caring, friendly and committed group of practitioners in an outstanding school (Ofsted Sept 2005, Dec 2008, Nov 2013, May 2018, October 2023).

We seek to appoint two exceptional Assistant Heads, committed to fostering a safe, nurturing and inclusive learning environment. This key leadership position will oversee pastoral care, student well-being and the development of a positive school culture that supports students' personal and social growth.

We are looking for an outstanding practitioner who can deliver effective leadership and management within their specific Key stage. The successful candidate will want to build upon the Key stage’s achievements to date, whilst adding their own creative stamp, ensuring that our students develop personally and continue to make excellent progress across all aspects of school life. We hope the successful candidate is dedicated to the welfare, safeguarding and achievement of every child; and wants to make a difference.

The benefits of working at our school are that every day brings a sense of achievement and progress, as you work alongside colleagues who are committed and enjoy working collaboratively. You will be part of a team where skills, knowledge and enthusiasm is recognised and appreciated.

If you would like to join an outstanding, enthusiastic, and dedicated team then we look forward to receiving your letter of interest no more than one A4 side and a completed application form.
